Compares the cultures of Siberian and Alaskan eskimos
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Published to coincide with a Smithsonian exhibition of the same title, this includes 36 profusely illustrated articles by American and Soviet scholars. The articles treat various aspects of the native cultures of Alaska and northeastern Siberia, such as potlatch ceremonies, native artists of Alaska, the ethnology of the Aleuts, and the history of Russian America. While some of the articles are interesting and informative, and there is a wealth of material for the specialist, the volume does not add up to a coherent whole for the nonscholar. For academic libraries.
