For those with an interest in northern indigenous communities and cultures the two books are moving accounts of a research partnership that joined indigenous knowledge bearers with academic and museum professionals, the result of which was to place indigenous knowledge at the center rather than at the periphery of the research enterprise and the resulting volumes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Museum Anthropology Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A handsomely illustrated, very readable volume.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * H-Net (Am-Indian) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A remarkable story and one of 'firsts'. . . .
