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.Do Not Live Without an Elder = Ciulirnerunak Yuuyaqunak -- Yup'ik Transcription and translation = Yugtun Igautellrit Kass'atun-llu Mumigtellrit -- The Subsistence Way Of Life = Nerangnaqsaraq -- Dangers During Fall and Winter = Aarnarqellriit Uksuarmi Uksumi-llu -- One That Is Memorable = Nalluyagutnarqenrilnguq -- Places Where Warriors Once Lived = Anguyiit Nllrit -- The World's Inhabitants = Ellam Yui.born digitalbooksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
