Social Life in Northwest Alaska
The Structure of Inupiaq Eskimo Nations
Ernest Burch Jr.
University of Alaska Press, 2006
This landmark volume will stand for decades as one of the most comprehensive studies of a hunter-gatherer population ever written. In this third and final volume in a series on the early contact period Iñupiaq Eskimos of northwestern Alaska, Burch examines every topic of significance to hunter-gatherer research, ranging from discussions of social relationships and settlement structure to nineteenth-century material culture.
