In a treeless land far north of the Arctic Circle, the I\u00f1upiat
live immensely practical lives, yet they have a profound belief in
the spirit world. For them, everything-whether living being or
inanimate object-has a spirit. This outlook reflects their sense of
the connectedness of all life. The Hands Feel It is the account of
one person's experience among the I\u00f1upiat. Anthropologist
Edith Turner records occurrences of healing, spirit manifestation,
and premonition in her narrative of a year in the life of an Eskimo
community. Her diary captures for the reader sea ice, tundra,
gravel beaches, and a determined and cheerful population. Sights,
sounds, and even smells that Turner encounters provide context for
a study in tune with the spiritual. Accounts that ethnographers
have often termed "myth" and "legend" Turner sees from a different
point of view-not as mere stories but as real events the
I\u00f1upiat sincerely report to her. The value of Turner's work
originates in her own connection to spirituality and in the growing
receptiveness of the I\u00f1upiat to her.
