San Francisco, Indian Historian Press, (1982). The second edition of this history of the Eskimo and Indian cultures of Alaska, by a Native writer. First published in 1971. Like other books published by this press, this is an attempt by a Native historian to retell the history of his tribe from within, rather than from the perspective of the Europeans whose coming altered that history in fundamental ways, and who were never privy to the culture unaffected by their own intrusion. Illustrated with drawings and paintings by the author. Slightly dusty; a near fine copy in illustrated boards, without dust jacket (probably as issued: the jacketed hardcover books in this series having unillustrated, cloth covers). [#016856] SOLD
