5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price, June 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales and Traditions of the Eskimo (Paperback)
This book is full of interesting information about the customs and traditions of all the different Eskimo tribes. The bulk of the book is a compilation of stories collected from the oral traditions of the Eskimos. It is clear and well-written. I recommend this book to anyone interested in these native peoples.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Eskimo, February 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I visited AK. in 2008; while I was there I saw a good deal of Eskimo/Inuit art. I knew there was more than they were saying (in the museums). Thanx for the various books (like this) to give me much more info. ;)
