83 pages, 86 photographs, 17 drawings, 1 map. Hard board cover. In 1936 ethnographer Hans Himmelbeber went to Alaska to do fieldwork among the Eskimos of the Kuskowim river and among the Nunivak, in each case studying a culture that was shortly to change forever, but still was almost undisturbed by the influence of the white man. This monograph chronicles his observations of these cultures and their customs, and illustrates much of their material culture: masks, painted drums, ivory figures, carvings, and tools.
