How Raven Marked the Land When the Earth Was New
In Alaska, Raven is paradoxically both a lazy scavenger, relying on others to hunt for it and not adverse to eating human flesh, and the creator of light and life. Raven in southwest Alaska is also known as the creator of many landforms seen to this day, including mountains, rivers, and islands. Although Raven stories are told throughout the eastern Arctic as well as interior Alaska, specific places are rarely named in these tales. In contrast, Y…
Ciissit: Les insectes dans la tradition orale yup’ik
Les insectes jouent un rôle important dans la tradition orale yup’ik du sud-ouest de l’Alaska. Même s’ils sont considérés comme des parasites indésirables dans certains contextes, ces minuscules êtres possèdent et peuvent donner une grande puissance. Certains existent depuis les tout débuts de l’humanité, à l’époque où Corbeau a créé les humains alors que tout était neuf. Selon les aînés yup’iks, aucun autre animal n’est autant associé au pouvoir…

Linking local and global: Yup'ik elders working together with one mind
In this paper, I describe a decade of work with the Calista Elders Council (CEC), a non-profit organization, representing the 1900 Yup'ik tradition bearers of the Yukon–Kuskokwim delta in southwest Alaska. CEC is the major research organization for the region and is active in documenting Yup'ik traditional knowledge. CEC was established in 1991 by Calista (the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act profit corporation for the Yukon–Kuskokwim delta). …
Ellavut / Our Yup'ik World and Weather: Continuity and Change on the Bering Sea Coast
Ellavut / Our Yup'ik World and Weather is a result of nearly ten years of gatherings among Yup'ik elders to document the qanruyutet (words of wisdom) that guide their interactions with the environment. In an effort to educate their own young people as well as people outside the community, the elders discussed the practical skills necessary to live in a harsh environment, stressing the ethical and philosophical aspects of the Yup'ik relationship w…
Yup'ik perspectives on climate change: The world is following its people
The Nelson Island Natural and Cultural History Project originated in the desire of community members in the Yup'ik villages of Chefornak, Nightmute, Toksook Bay, Tununak, and Newtok to document and share their history with their younger generation. To do so, they invited non-Native scientists to join them in village gatherings as well as on a three-week circumnavigation of Nelson Island (Alaska), during which elders reflected on changes in weathe…
Yaqulget Qaillun Pilartat (What the Birds Do): Yup'ik Eskimo Understanding of Geese and Those Who Study Them
Traditional knowledge of the effects of storm surges and changing coastal ecology on the breeding habits of geese (specifically black brant) in the coastal wetlands of southwestern Alaska was documented in a project initiated by non-Native biologists and an anthropologist. The project was both implemented and controlled by the local nonprofit regional corporation, which employed village researchers to interview elders and record their understandi…
Freeze Frame: Alaska Eskimos in the Movies
Freeze Frame takes a penetrating, often humorous, look at how Eskimos have been portrayed in nearly a century of film, from the pioneering documentaries of missionaries and Arctic explorers to Eskimo Pie commercials of the 1990s. Some of these works are serious attempts to depict a culture; others are unabashed entertainment, featuring papier mache igloos and zebra-skin parkas. Even film-makers who sought authenticity were likely to build igloos …
