Ciulirnerunak yuuyaqunak. Do not live without an elder: the subsistence way of life in southwest Alaska
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016) Feinup-Riordan, Ann, editor; Rearden, Alice, translator; University of Alaska Press, publisher
In October of 2010, six men who were serving on the board of the Calista Elders Council (CEC) gathered in Anchorage with CEC staff to spend three days speaking about the subsistence way of life. The men shared stories of their early years growing up on the land and harvesting through the seasons, and the dangers they encountered there. The gathering was striking for its regional breadth, as elders came from the Bering Sea coast as well as the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. And while their accounts had some commonalities, they also served to demonstrate the wide range of different approaches to subsistence in different regions. This book gathers the men's stories for the current generation and those to come. Taken together, they become more than simply oral histories--rather, they testify to the importance of transmitting memories and culture and of preserving knowledge of vanishing ways of life.--Provided by publisher.

Nunakun-gguq ciutengqertut. They say they have ears through the ground: animal essays from Southwest Alaska
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2020) Fienup-Riordan, Ann, author; Rearden, Alice, translator; Meade, Marie, translator; Chanar, David, translator; Nayamin, Rebecca, translator; Joseph, Corey, translator; University of Alaska Press, publisher
Lifeways in Southwest Alaska today remains inextricably bound to the seasonal cycles of sea and land. Community members continue to hunt, fish, and make products from the life found in the rivers and sea. Based on a wealth of oral histories collected over decades of research, this book explores the ancestral relationship between Yup'ik people and the natural world of Southwest Alaska. Nunakun-gguq Ciutengqertut studies the overlapping lives of the Yup'ik with native plants, animals, and birds, and traces how these relationships transform as more Yup'ik relocate to urban areas and with the changing environment. The book is presented in bilingual format, with facing-page translations, and will be hailed as a milestone work in the anthropological study of contemporary Alaska.--Provided by publisher
