About This Book
The work offers a comprehensive ethnographic and natural account of a subarctic coastal region around Fort Chimo, combining climatic, vegetal and animal descriptions with detailed studies of local indigenous groups. It documents physical traits, social organization, marriage, childrearing, burial, religious beliefs, housing, clothing, tools, hunting and transport, and domestic life, plus games, arts, and festivals. Practical methods for preparing skins, constructing dwellings, and making weapons appear alongside foodways and tobacco use. The volume also records oral literature and origin myths collected from native storytellers, and includes illustrations and measurements to support the observations.
