| Title: | Spirituality and the seamstress: birds in Ipiutak and western Thule lifeways at Deering, Alaska / Anna C. Sloan. |
| Author(s): | Sloan, Anna C. |
| Date: | 2014. |
| In: | Arctic Anthropology. (2014.), Vol. 51(2) (2014) |
| Abstract: | Explores extent to which spirituality and symbolism are integrated into economic "lifeways" of northern indigenous peoples and how zooarcheaological record might be interpreted in light of such connections. Avifaunal evidence from Deering, Alaska, suggests that, between AD 700 and 1200, birds were critical economic resource utilised by Ipiutak and western Thule groups for food, tools and clothing. Ethnographic and oral historical data from former and contemporary northern communities point to significance of bird subsistence while also emphasising their spiritual and symbolic potency. |
