Part of the Land Part of the Water: A History of the Yukon Indians,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the dust Part of the Land, Part of the Water is a history of the native peoples of the Yukon. Written for a general audience by an eminent anthropologist, the book assembles in lucid and readable form the insights of modern geology, archaeology, ethnology and documentary history, along with a rich harvest of oral history and mythology told in the eloquent voices of Yukon Indians themselves. Land claims, native languages, traditional hunting and fishing techniques, shamanism, the traditional life cycle and other topics are explored in rich detail. The pervading theme is the adaptation of traditional cultures to a constantly changing and challenging world, not merely in the present century but over many thousands of years. Implicitly, the book is also about the right of a people to their own history, seen from their own perspective. 'In the old days ... those oldtimers were smart. They never had a pencil like you got in your hand. They never had it just a mind, that's all. If someone is going to speak about some trouble, well, an old guy like me, we are going to sit down. And the first word they are going to speak, I'm going to catch what he really is speaking about. That's how it used to be. They never take a paper and look at the paper first. Just our minds. In this country we know a lot of things, right from the beginning.' TOM PETERS, Deisheetaan clan, Crow moiety, Inland Tlingit, Teslin Catharine McClellan, Professor Emerita at the University of Wisconsin, has been doing fieldwork in the Yukon for four decades. She served for many years as editor of the scholarly journal Arctic Anthropology, and her encyclopedic study My Old People Say (2 vols, 1975) is a scholarly work of major importance in the anthropology of the Yukon.
