Book excerpt: "Yua : Spirit of the Arctic presents a selection of works from the Thomas G. Fowler Collection of Eskimo and Inuit Art, a group of 390 objects and prints that were given to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco as a bequest in 2006. The publication explores a variety of themes that are embodied in the diverse collection, highlighted in over eighty color plates. Through a selection of beautifully decorated utilitarian objects, it presents a glimpse into the historic lifeways of Yup'ik and Inupiaq people of western Alaska and reveals the interwoven nature of the spiritual and the quotidian. Ancient figurines carved from walrus ivory form the basis for a discussion about the pre-historic Okvik, Punuk, and Thule cultures of the Bering Strait region. A survey of works made for foreign consumption facilitates a discussion about the historical trends of collecting and displaying art from the Arctic region, from sixteenth-century European explorers to nineteenth-century ethnographers and twentieth-century gallerists. Historic masks and regalia are contemporized and enlivened through a personal account about Yup'ik dancing from performer Chuna McIntyre. These essays are punctuated by Artist Highlights that feature the work and words of internationally recognized artists David Ruben Piqtoukun, Abraham Anghik Ruben, Susie Silook, and Judas Ullulaq"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unicorn Riders of the Arctic People who live on a world where the sun doesn't rise very often ride unicorns to stay safe from evil. They learn how important it is to work together and be brave. Summary: In the ethereal Arctic, where sunshine is valuable, there lives a beautiful group of fighters. People know these fighters for the beautiful unicorns that they keep as pets. These horses help them have great personalities. On a mysterious and cold world, the strong bond between warrior and beast is the basis of their society. It stands for strength and purity. Ayla is a young, active member of the group whose dreams are beyond what is real. As the story goes on, we learn more about her. The thing that really moves Ayla is her wish to ride a unicorn and become one of the best protectors of her people. Threatening the peace of their world, dark forces and scary shadows show up with plans as cold as a winter night. The group gets ready for what they don't know while the elders, who are wise and fearful, sense that darkness is coming. In this ominous mood, Ayla meets Lumi for the first time. Lumi is an old horse with a white coat. Silence makes a strong connection that can't be broken. With Lumi by her side, Ayla starts a difficult trip to learn more about herself and get better. As they work out together, their friendship grows stronger and they find a balance between their spirit and their mission. This level of readiness is necessary because a scary threat has appeared and requires guts and drive. During the first fights, Ayla and Lumi are put to the test to see how committed they are and how well they can be lights in the dark. The story's climax is reached when it's clear that working together is their best tool. Tribes that had been separate before joined forces to fight a shared enemy. The major battle at Icewind Pass is both a fight for life and a show of how powerful cooperation and trust can be. It takes a lot of work to win, and afterward is a time to celebrate and heal. The area used to be dark, but now it shines with a new light, and the guards are revered and their stories are woven into the fabric of the community. It's become clear that Ayla and Lumi are strong and hopeful. They are now looking to the future and hope that their memory will serve as a guide for others. That's not all that The Unicorn Riders of the Arctic is about. It's also about group courage and the power that comes from working together. In a place where the sun doesn't rise very often, the real light shines from inside, paving the way for a better tomorrow. Chapter 1: The Dawn in the North Ayla was a little girl who lived in a magical, faraway place where it was always dark, snowy, and freezing. Ayla wasn't like other girls her age; she was a brave and dreamy young warrior from her group. The sun didn't rise very often in this cold and beautiful area, so every dawn was a valuable and beautiful sight. Ayla would look out to sea every morning with wide-open mouths in hope of seeing the sun quickly rise over the snow-covered mountains. Even though it was short-lived, the light worked like magic, sending a warm, golden glow over the snowy ground that made it look like everything was sparkling. It was a dream that kept going through Ayla's mind every time she saw the strange sunrise. It was her dream to ride a unicorn, which is a mythical animal loved in her culture for its beauty, grace, and power. In Ayla's world, unicorns stood for bravery, power, and the true nature of the warriors who rode them. They were more than just beings. People said that the depths of these beautiful animals' eyes were like the sky, and their coats sparkled like the sun. Someone who could ride a unicorn was seen as proud and brave, and Ayla wanted to be one of the few people who had that title. There was more to this dream than just the adventure and the link to a magical creature. Ayla wanted to show her tribe and the rest of the world that she was a fighter with the heart, courage, and strength of a warrior. She dreamed of riding her unicorn across vast, snowy fields, feeling the cold wind on her face, and being stronger and freer than she had ever been. Because of her dream, her days were full of reason and excitement. Every morning as Ayla watched the sun rise, her resolve got stronger. She was determined to get what she wanted, so she set out on a journey to find her unicorn and use it to make tales in their country. She knew, though, that dreams didn't come true on their own. She knew she had to work hard to be able to ride a unicorn. Unicorns picked their horses based on traits like bravery, loyalty, and having a pure heart. She was ready to deal with any problems that came up, learn from them, and become the strong woman she had always known she could be. She would not only look for a unicorn, but she would also find out how brave and strong she really is. Like every day, Ayla's trip would take her beyond the horizon, into the unknown, and even into the pages of mythology. It was about to start, just like the sun rising over the horizon. Chapter 2: The Meeting Members of Ayla's group got together for an important meeting deep in the Arctic, as the sky turned soft colors as evening approached. It wasn't like the usual getting together around a fire to tell stories and laugh. Instead, there was a thick silence that made it seem like the snow was listening and holding its breath. The tribe's secret pointed to danger and bad things. They had never seen shadows like the ones around their house before. They walked quietly through the icy fields and into the cold woods. Aside from being shadows cast by trees or clouds, these things seemed to be moving toward the tribe's land on their own. As the elders spoke in a worried tone, Ayla stood with her people. Her young heart was racing with a mix of fear and joy. It looked like the excitement had come right to her door. She had always wanted to go on trips and show off how good she was at martial arts. The leaders told everyone to be careful because they didn't know what the shadows meant in terms of danger. They told troops that they needed to be ready to protect their people and that they should look into these shadows to figure out what they were trying to do.

Download or read book Future Arctic written by Edward Struzik and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one hundred years, or even fifty, the Arctic will look dramatically different than it does today. As polar ice retreats and animals and plants migrate northward, the arctic landscape is morphing into something new and very different from what it once was. While these changes may seem remote, they will have a profound impact on a host of global issues, from international politics to animal migrations. In Future Arctic, journalist and explorer Edward Struzik offers a clear-eyed look at the rapidly shifting dynamics in the Arctic region, a harbinger of changes that will reverberate throughout our entire world. Future Arctic reveals the inside story of how politics and climate change are altering the polar world in a way that will have profound effects on economics, culture, and the environment as we know it. Struzik takes readers up mountains and cliffs, and along for the ride on snowmobiles and helicopters, sailboats and icebreakers. His travel companions, from wildlife scientists to military strategists to indigenous peoples, share diverse insights into the science, culture and geopolitical tensions of this captivating place. With their help, Struzik begins piecing together an environmental puzzle: How might the land’s most iconic species—caribou, polar bears, narwhal—survive? Where will migrating birds flock to? How will ocean currents shift? And what fundamental changes will oil and gas exploration have on economies and ecosystems? How will vast unclaimed regions of the Arctic be divided? A unique combination of extensive on-the-ground research, compelling storytelling, and policy analysis, Future Arctic offers a new look at the changes occurring in this remote, mysterious region and their far-reaching effects.
