Informationen zum Autor Frank "Miisaq" Andrew, Sr.. Edited by Ann Fienup-Riordan Klappentext In this bilingual book accompanying Yuungnaqpiallerput / The Way We Genuinely Live: Masterworks of Yup'ik Science and Survival, Yup'ik elder Frank Andrew shares his knowledge of life on the Bering Sea coast. When he talks about kayak building, tomcod fishing, or bird hunting, it is based on his own experience in the area surrounding Kwigillingok, where he spent his life. Zusammenfassung Yup'ik elders of southwest Alaska recall! "Our ancestors were never heavy with a tool kit." They carried in their minds what they needed to live rich lives in the harsh environment of the Bering Sea coast. This volume gives readers a sense of the complexity and variety of Yup'ik tools and technology.
