This superb ethnographic study, illustrated by 120 remarkable
color photographs, explodes the conventional idea of Eskimos as
simple, primitive people. Concentrating on their traditional
society, anthropologist Ernest S. Burch, Jr, and renowned
photographer Werner Forman show them as not only pragmatic and
highly skilled but also sophisticated in their personal
relationships and their ability to live together in constrictive
family communities.
The text and the photographs in this book explore the Eskimos'
art, their rich mythology, and their beliefs-their stories, their
spirit world, and the role of shamans in their lives.
