Book Synopsis
Bringing together a record of traditional Yup'ik rules and rituals, this text incorporates elders' recollections of the system of ruled boundaries and ritual passages that guided their parents and grandparents a century ago.

Trade Review
The cosmology and ritual cycle of the Yup'ik are much more sophisticated than most people ever imagined, and they are documented here in superb detail. Boundaries and Passages: Rule and Ritual in Yup'ik Eskimo Oral Tradition is an enormous contribution to Eskimo studies and a major contribution to anthropology. It will be a required source on Eskimo societies and on Alaskan Eskimos for years to come."" - Ernest S. Burch, Jr., author of Social Life in Northwest Alaska: The Structure of Iñupiaq Eskimo Nations
