Description

This book draws on little-known oral histories from the Yup’ik other people of southwest Alaska to detail a period of bow-and-arrow warfare that took place within the region between 1300 and 1800. The results of more than thirty years of study, discussion, and field recordings involving a couple of hundred Yup’ik women and men, Anguyiim Nalliini tells a story not just of war and violence, but in addition of its cultural context—the origins of place names, the expansion of indigenous architectural practices, the personalities of prominent warriors and leaders, and the eventual status quo of peaceful coexistence.

The book is presented in bilingual format, with facing-page translations, and it’s going to be hailed as a landmark work within the study of Alaska Native history and anthropology.
