Description
xxi, [3], 379 pages. References. Glossary. Black and white reproductions of photos. Family tree diagrams. "In the summer of 1963 I went to the Canadian Northwest Territories to make a seventeen-month anthropological field study of the small group of Eskimos who live at the mouth of the Back River, northwest of Hudson Bay. These twenty to thirty-five Eskimos, who call themselves Utkuhikhalingmiut, are the sole inhabitants of an area 35,000 or more miles square." - dust jacket. Heavily-worn former library copy with usual markings. Binding intact. Not pretty but a worthy reference copy of this fascinating study. Book
