Summary Annotation <div><p>This book brings together as complete a record of traditional Yup&#8217;ik rules and rituals as is possible in the late twentieth century. Incorporating elders&#8217; recollections of the system of ruled boundaries and ritual passages that guided their parents and grandparents a century ago, Ann Fienup-Riordan brings into focus the complex, creative Yup&#8217;ik world view-expressed by ceremonial exchanges and the cycling of names, gifts, and persons-which continues to shape daily life in communities along the Bering Sea coast.</p></div>
