xxvi+189 pages with maps, diagram and bibliography. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over blue boards in original jacket. First edition. For the Tikigaq people of Point Hope, Alaska - the oldest continuously settled Native American site on the continent - the annual cycle of myth and magic that culminated in the spring whale hunt shaped every aspect of life for over 1,500 years. Packed close to half the year in underground whale-bone igloos connected by tunnels, Tikigaq people formed complex webs of kinship and alliance. But they were also connected to ancestor spirits, the spirits of the sun and the moon, and the animals they both worshiped and ate. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.
