This extraordinary document of early arctic history provides a plain, direct view of the Inuit and the whalers in their arctic environment at the end of the 19th century. With invaluable contextual and complementary information, this book contributes key insights during the recent wave of scientific assessment of Franz Boas's legacy in all social sciences. 606 $aInuit$xSocial life and customs 606 $aManners and customs 606 $aTravel 607 $aBaffin Island (Nunavut)$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 607 $aBaffin Island (Nunavut)$xDescription and travel 607 $aBaffin, I?le de (Nunavut)$xM?urs et coutumes$y19e sie?cle 607 $aBaffin, I?le de (Nunavut)$xDescriptions et voyages 615 0$aInuit$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aManners and customs. 615 0$aTravel. 676 $a304.20899712 700 $aMu?ller-Wille$b Ludger$0238255 702 $aGieseking$b Bernd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790789203321 996 $aInuit and whalers on Baffin Island through German eyes$93779211 997 $aUNINA
