Reflecting on 25 years of research in the region . . . she offers several views of the changing world of Alaska Natives, of the relationship between anthropologist and subjects, and of the very goals of anthropology herself. . . . [She] addresses these topics and more with grace and humor. * Arctic *\u003cbr\u003eIf you donÆt believe that indigenous cultures have survived and even thrived in the modern world, read Hunting Traditions in a Changing World. Fienup-Riordan shows that, far from relinquishing their culture, the Yupiit (the YupÆik people) are eagerly reclaiming it. This reclamation project is not simply an effort to record dances, songs, and customs; it is a way to engage and shape the present. . . . As an ethnographerÆs report on the changing culture of anthropology and on the changing culture of the Yupiit, this book is fascinating, innovative, empathetic, and plain god reading. * Pacific Northwest Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers fascinating and engaging material. * Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History *\u003cbr\u003eThis stimulating book of essays contributes fresh ways of thinking about meanings of tradition in the late twentieth century. -- Julie Cruikshank * associate professor of anthropology, University of British Columbia *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface        \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments        \u003cbr\u003e Introduction -\u003cbr\u003e Continuity and Change in Southwestern Alaska\u003cbr\u003e An Anthropologist Reassess Her Methods\u003cbr\u003e The Boy Who Went to Live with the Seals \/ Paul John\u003cbr\u003e Yup'ik and Christian Encounter -\u003cbr\u003e Metaphors of Conversion, Metaphors of Change\u003cbr\u003e Life Is Like a Toolbox \/ Paul John\u003cbr\u003e Mixed Metaphors: Old Yup'ik Acts in the New Catholic Church\u003cbr\u003e My Experiences Growing Up \/ William Tyson\u003cbr\u003e yup'ik@alaska.net - \u003cbr\u003e Yup'ik Community in the 1990s: A Worldwide Web\u003cbr\u003e Yup'iks in the City \/ John Active\u003cbr\u003e What's in a Name?: Becoming a Real Person in a Yup'ik Community\u003cbr\u003e Tuqluryaraq (``The Way of Knowing Who Your Relatives Are'')\u003cbr\u003e Hunting Tradition in the Late Twentieth Century Collaboration on Display: A Yup'ik Exhibit at Three National Museums\u003cbr\u003e Speaking with Elders \/ Marie Meade\u003cbr\u003e Elders in Museums: Fieldwork Turned on Its Head\u003cbr\u003e Museums: Part of God's Plan \/ Paul John\u003cbr\u003e ``Let the Millennium Come...We'll Make It'' \/ John Active\u003cbr\u003e Notes        \u003cbr\u003e References        \u003cbr\u003e Resources      \u003cbr\u003e Index        ","brand":"MW - Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768151605591,"sku":"9780813528052","price":28.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780813528052.jpg?v=1758716578","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hunting-tradition-in-a-changing-world-yupik-lives-in-alaska-today-9780813528052","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
