Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treasury of Eskimo Tales The Central Eskimo live away up north in that great American archipelago which lies be tween Hudson Bay, Baffin Bay, and the Arctic Ocean; an archipelago in which the islands are so large, so numerous, and so irregular in outline that, as one looks at a map of them, he could fancy they were chunks of the continent which had been broken to pieces by some huge iceberg that bumped into it. The land is ice-bound during so much of the year that the inhabitants cannot depend upon getting a living by the cultivation of the soil, and have to subsist almost entirely upon meat which they get from reindeer, seal, bear, whale, and walrus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eskimo Twins One spring morning, very early, while the moon still shone and every one else in the village was asleep, Menie and Monnie crept out of the dark entrance of their little stone house by the sea. The entrance to their little stone house was long and low like a tunnel. The Twins were short and fat. But even if they were short they could not stand up straight in the tunnel. So they crawled out on all fours. Nip and Tup came with them. Nip and Tup were on all fours, too, but they had run that way all their lives, so they could go much faster than the twins. They got out first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early Ethnography in the American Arctic written by Kirsten Hastrup and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a portrait of early ethnographic work in the American Arctic, with a focus on understanding the mutual constitution of the Inuit and their early ethnographers. It draws mainly on a rich repository of written testimonies from the early twentieth century, the ‘great ethnographic period’ when new scholarly interest in the region took off. Supplementing the movements and observations of whalers, traders, and missionaries, the early chroniclers offered new knowledge of Inuit life. Although their descriptions of the Inuit bear the marks of their time, the texts have left a deep mark on later developments and contributed to a long-lasting view of human life in the Arctic. The chapters show the infiltration of lives and landscapes, of thoughts and materials, of Inuit and ethnographers. The book will be relevant to anthropologists as well as historians, geographers, and others with an interest the Arctic region and Indigenous studies.
Download or read book Tales the Eskimos Tell Classic Reprint written by Dorothy Morrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales the Eskimos Tell Tales the eskimos tell is a very delight ful group of stories. Usually, once upon a time stories tell us about peoples, things, and habits of thought of a bygone age. But in this book are contained many tales which the Eskimos tell today, and in which many of them believe. Are they true? Well, who knows? Eskimos are hunters and fishermen. Their once upon a time stories, therefore, contain many wonderful ideas about animals and birds, and about prophets and guardian angels. Even yet the Eskimo people tell the story of the angekok who gave them the trout, and they will show you the stripe that runs along its side. This stripe, they will tell you, is the seam Where the folds of the seaweed met when the angekok wrapped it around the poor wet fish. Visitors to the Arctic region tell us that the Eskimos are the happiest people in the world. They laugh as much in a month as we do in a year. We have no desire (the majority of us at any rate) to live within the Arctic Circle. The Eskimos have no desire to live anywhere else, and when they are forced to leave their native land, they are very unhappy until they return. While conditions in our part of the world are constantly changing, many Eskimos of today live, think, and act as their grand fathers, their great grandfathers, and great-great grand fathers did many years ago.

Download or read book The Foragers of Point Hope written by Charles E. Hilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the edge of the Arctic Ocean, above the Arctic Circle, the prehistoric settlements at Point Hope, Alaska, represent a truly remarkable accomplishment in human biological and cultural adaptations. Presenting a set of anthropological analyses on the human skeletal remains and cultural material from the Ipiutak and Tigara archaeological sites, The Foragers of Point Hope sheds new light on the excavations from 1939–41, which provided one of the largest sets of combined biological and cultural materials of northern latitude peoples in the world. A range of material items indicated successful human foraging strategies in this harsh Arctic environment. They also yielded enigmatic artifacts indicative of complex human cultural life filled with dense ritual and artistic expression. These remnants of past human activity contribute to a crucial understanding of past foraging lifeways and offer important insights into the human condition at the extreme edges of the globe.
