In breathtaking prose, Alaskan writer and teacher Nick Jans offers an insider's perspective on America's last great wilderness and its northernmost people, the Inupiat Eskimos.
Reader Reviews
When I first ordered this book, I was looking for an ethnography of the Inupiat. I didn't look that closely at the description of the book, but since it had a five star rating, I still bought it. The day it arrived, I started reading it and found at that what I received was not what I was expecting...however I still couldn't put it down. Jans' stories of life with the Inupiat, are amazing. While it isn't a traditional ethnography, Jans still gives some amazing insight into the lives of the Inupiat. His descriptions are colorful and entertaining while still giving a sense of the seriousness of the intrusion of mining and modern culture on the traditional subsistence of the Inupiat. There is a degree of fear as to what will happen to them as society marches onward into the remote regions of Alaska and provides a sense of urgency of protection for these people. If you are remotely interested in what life is like above the arctic circle, get this book. Don't think about it, just get it.
