In this volume Nelson Island elders describe hundreds of
traditionally important places in the landscape, from camp and
village sites to tiny sloughs and deep ocean channels,
contextualizing them through stories of how people interacted with
them in the past and continue to know them today. The stories both
provide a rich, descriptive historical record and detail the ways
in which land use has changed over time. Nelson Islanders
maintained a strongly Yup'ik worldview and subsistence lifestyle
through the 1940s, living in small settlements and moving with the
seasonal cycle of plant and animal abundances. The last sixty years
have brought dramatic changes, including the concentration of
people into five permanent, year-round villages. The elders have
mapped significant places to help perpetuate an active relationship
between the land and their people, who, despite the immobility of
their villages, continue to rely on the fluctuating bounty of the
Bering Sea coastal environment.
