Abstract	This book vividly demonstrates the capacity of the human being, whomever they are, to cross over the gap that unfortunately exists between people. Through the mechanism of theatre, the author has built a bridge between differing worldviews. This kind of bridging is magical and sometimes mystical, which is appropriate for Alaska native cultures and the art of performance. The author describes his involvement in developing the Tuma Theatre following his arrival at the University of Alaska in 1988 from a career in theatre in Chicago. The text contains three essays: on traditional Alaskan Eskimo theatre, a description of a traditional Eskimo Messenger's feast (or Kivgiq) held in 1988, and the development of the Tuma Theatre.
