Synopsis

Explore the world of the Labrador Eskimo and discover a rich coastal culture through daily life, tools, and traditions.

This nontechnical account surveys the life and crafts of the Labrador Eskimo across the coast of Labrador, drawn from field study and collected artifacts. Written to be accessible, it frames the people, their environment, and the ways they shaped everyday objects, ceremonies, and stories. The book presents a clear picture of how material culture and social life connect in this Arctic region.

• How housing, lamps, and kettles were used to sustain warmth, food, and daily routines


• Common tools and utensils, from scrapers and knives to wooden dishes and cups


• Patterns, crafts, and the art of carving in wood and stone

Ideal for readers of ethnology and Arctic studies who seek a grounded, respectful portrait of a coastal indigenous culture.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
