In the intervening century, a robust field of ethnographic research has grown around the Inuit and Yupiit of North America--but, until now, English-language readers have had little access to the broad corpus of work on Greenlandic natives. Worldviews of the Greenlanders draws upon extensive Danish and Greenlandic research on Inuit arctic peoples--as well as Birgitte Sonne's own decades of scholarship and fieldwork--to present in rich detail the key symbols and traditional beliefs of Greenlandic Natives, as well as the changes brought about by contact with colonial traders and Christian missionaries. It includes critical updates to our knowledge of the Greenlanders' pre-colonial world and their ideas on space, time, and other worldly beings. This expansive work will be a touchstone of Arctic Native studies for academics who wish to expand their knowledge past the boundaries of North America"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aManners and customs$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007815 606 $aInuit$xSocial life and customs$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977906 606 $aInuit$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977863 606 $aHISTORY$xPolar Regions$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xAnthropology$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aInuit$zGreenland$xSocial life and customs 606 $aInuit$zGreenland$xHistory 607 $aGreenland$2fast 607 $aGreenland$xSocial life and customs 607 $aGreenland$xHistory 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aManners and customs. 615 7$aInuit$xSocial life and customs. 615 7$aInuit. 615 7$aHISTORY$xPolar Regions. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xAnthropology$xGeneral. 615 0$aInuit$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aInuit$xHistory. 676 $a998.2004/9712 686 $aSOC002000$2bisacsh 700 $aSonne$b Birgitte$01509423 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796396403321 996 $aWorldviews of the Greenlanders$93741291 997 $aUNINA
