THEALASKA ESKIMOS A SELECTED, AN NOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Arthur E. Hippler and John R. Wood Institute of Social and Economic Research University of Alaska Standard Book Number: 0-88353-022-8 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 77-620070 Published by Institute of Social and Economic Research University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 1977 Printed in the United States of America PREFACE This Report is one in a series of selected, annotated bibliographies on Alaska Native groups that is being published by the Institute of Social and Economic Research. It comprises annotated references on Eskimos in Alaska. A forthcoming bibliography in this series will collect and evaluate the existing literature on Southeast Alaska Tlingit and Haida groups. ISER bibliographies are compiled and written by institute members who specialize in ethnographic and social research. They are designed both to support current work at the institute and to provide research tools for others interested in Alaska ethnography. Although not exhaustive, these bibliographies indicate the best references on Alaska Native groups and describe the general nature of the works. Lee Gorsuch Director, ISER December 1977 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people are always involved in such an undertaking as this. Particularly, we wish to thank Carol Berg, Librarian at the Elmer E. Rasmussen Library, University of Alaska, whose assistance was invaluable in obtaining through interlibrary loans, many of the articles and books annotated in this bibliography. Peggy Raybeck and Ronald Crowe had general responsibility for editing and preparing the manuscript for publication, with editorial and production assistance provided by Susan Woods and Kandy Crowe.

B-1 V INTRODUCTION This annotated bibliography is one of a series being published by the Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of Alaska. Its purpose is to provide a general overview of the literature in English concerning Alaska Eskimos. We believe that this work will be of use to the introductory student, as well as to the more advanced scholar, and every effort has been made to list as many and as representative sources as possible. The bibliography includes all cultural, anthropological, ethnopsychiatric, and related works that we could uncover. It does not include children's story books, references in foreign languages, or unpublished Narks, except for a few we considered unusually useful. Nor does it include archeological, linguistic, or ethnomusical sources, unless they are part of more general works. The reader will note that the organization of the bibliography permits works to be located by name of author, language group studied, and time of observation. In this way the interested student can follow major trends in theoretical approach as well as shifts in geographical emphasis through time. Also included is a bibliography of important general reference works. As regards the form of annotation, in addition to describing the contents of a work, we have often commented on the theoretical significance or quality of the work. We feel that this permits a far more efficient use of the bibliography. This bibliography does not include entries published later than 1975. 1 '.
