- Used Book in Good Condition
This book brings together as complete a record of traditional Yupâ€™ik rules and rituals as is possible in the late twentieth century. Incorporating eldersâ€™ recollections of the system of ruled boundaries and ritual passages that guided their parents and grandparents a century ago, Ann Fienup-Riordan brings into focus the complex, creative Yupâ€™ik world viewâ€”expressed by ceremonial exchanges and the cycling of names, gifts, and personsâ€”which continues to shape daily life in communities along the Bering Sea coast.
