Product Description
Boundaries and Passages: Rule and Ritual in Yup'ik Eskimo Oral Tradition (Volume 212) (The Civilization of the American Indian Series)
- Used Book in Good Condition
This book brings together as complete a record of traditional Yup€ik rules and rituals as is possible in the late twentieth century. Incorporating elders€ 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 Yup€ik world view€"expressed by ceremonial exchanges and the cycling of names, gifts, and persons€"which continues to shape daily life in communities along the Bering Sea coast.
