These communities have fewer than three hundred residents in an area of more than 22,000 square miles. Yet they are closely linked by the Yukon River and by history itself. Through their Eyes is a glimpse into the past and present of these communities, showing how their survival has depended on centuries of cooperation. The towns have roots in the gold rushes but they are also located within the traditional territories of the Hän Hwëch’in, the Gwichyaa Gwich’in, and Denduu Gwich’in Dena (Athabascan) peoples. Over time, residents have woven together new heritages, adopting and practicing each other’s traditions. This book combines oral accounts with archival research to create a rich portrayal of life in rural Alaska villages. Many of the stories come directly from the residents of these communities, giving an inside perspective on the often colorful events that characterize life in Eagle, Circle, and Central.Manners and customsfast(OCoLC)fst01007815AlaskaYukon-Koyukuk Census AreafastAlaskaEaglefastAlaskaCirclefastAlaskafastYukon-Koyukuk Census Area (Alaska)HistoryEagle (Alaska)HistoryCircle (Alaska)HistoryAlaskaSocial life and customsYukon-Koyukuk Census Area (Alaska)HistoryEagle (Alaska)HistoryCircle (Alaska)HistoryAlaskaSocial life and customsHistory.Manners and customs.979.8Koskey Michael Stephen1801798Tyrrell LaurelLotvonen VarpuMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910953606403321Through Their Eyes4347193UNINA
