This book explores indigenous dances and social relationships
surrounding the dance activities among Yupik on St. Lawrence Island
and Inupiat in Utqiagvik, Northern Alaska. Yupik and Inupiat
proudly distinguish their indigenous styles of dance, locally
called 'Eskimo dance', from Western styles of dance, such as
ballroom, disco or ballet. Based on two years of intensive
fieldwork and 18 years of experience living in Alaska, Ikuta sets
out to understand how Yupik and Inupiaq dances are at the centre of
social relationships with the environment, among humans, between
humans and animals, and between Native and the Euro-American
societies. It also examines how the nature and structure of dance
are connected to cultural politics, wrought by political, economic
and historical events.
