Ruddel, David T.

This well-researched volume expands our understanding of the Nuvorugmiut seasonal exploitation of the caribou and the whale. This Western Arctic society, almost obliterated over the course of the last century, is brought to life in this vivid depiction. The author challenges the popular belief that all Inuit societies were egalitarian, suggesting that powerful whaling captains were the focus around with Nuvorugmiut life revolved.

Morrison, David A.

This study provides a cultural analysis of power and performance in Gros Ventre war expedition songs. Symbolic content of Gros Ventre myth and ritual is elicited as a tool for analyzing the particular social relations that motivate war expeditions as action and value. Mythological and musical analysis combine in an investigation of structural and performative devices that frame song as a system of metacommunication.
