In this volume Nelson Island elders describe hundreds of traditionally important places in the landscape, from camp and village sites to tiny sloughs and deep ocean channels, contextualizing them through stories of how people interacted with them in the past and continue to know them today. The stories both provide a rich, descriptive historical record and detail the ways in which land use has changed over time.

Nelson Islanders maintained a strongly Yup'ik worldview and subsistence lifestyle through the 1940s, living in small settlements and moving with the seasonal cycle of plant and animal abundances. The last sixty years have brought dramatic changes, including the concentration of people into five permanent, year-round villages. The elders have mapped significant places to help perpetuate an active relationship between the land and their people, who, despite the immobility of their villages, continue to rely on the fluctuating bounty of the Bering Sea coastal environment.

Recenzijos

"This book is a pleasure to read and offers a profound insight into the lives and living histories of the people of Nelson Island."

- Elizabeth Marino (Arctic) "The latest in a long and extremely rich and valuable series under anthropologist Fienup-Riordan's editorship but created by the Yup'ik themselves. . . . As a volume in one of the truly great ethnographic projects of all time, it deserves full respect. Summing Up: Highly recommended.:."

(Choice) "Their stories cover the breadth of historical, cultural, and personal experiences living on Qaluyaat, each memory tied to a place with a meaningful name. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers in a variety of disciplines, but particularly so for the Qaluyaarmiut themselves . . ."

- Ross Coen (H-Net)
