Their stories are framed by the an analytic history of regional changes, together with current anthropological theory on the nature of cultural change and the formation of cultural identity. The book presents a subtle and emotionally moving account of the region and the roles of two men, both of whom view issues from a Catholic perspective yet.Yupik EskimosMissionsAlaskaSaint Mary's RegionYupik EskimosLand tenureAlaskaSaint Mary's RegionYupik EskimosAlaskaSaint Mary's RegionSocial conditionsSaint Mary's (Alaska)HistorySaint Mary's (Alaska)Social life and customsInterviews.History.Electronic books.
