Far more than just a dance, the dynamic choreography of the
Yup'ik provides an illuminating window into the morality, social
organization, and colonial history of this indigenous people. In
"Yupiit Yurayarait," anthropologist Ann Fienup-Riordan begins with
a brief historical overview of the colonization and development of
Alaska from the Yup'ik point of view. Then, armed with oral history
testimony spanning thirty years, she shows how singing and dancing
are interconnected and imbued with meaning in this complex ritual.
Accompanied by one hundred and fifty original photographs, this
volume marks the first in-depth look at the Yup'ik people through
the lens of interpretive dance.
