Opis

Grounded in existing understandings of Yup'ik cosmology and worldview, this work is the first to look at how a Yup'ik community uses stories of place in social life. On the Bering coast of southwest Alaska, Cusack-McVeigh accompanied storytellers during their daily activities. Hearing many narratives repeatedly over a span of years, she came to understand how stories reflected interactions of people and places.
