| Abstract | The present volume is a strong reminder that culture areas exist in their own right, sprawling across national or tribal territories, and that the range of culture includes more than survival traits. The Indians of the Subarctic have adapted to a physical habitat that imposes taxation in terms of time and energy far beyond the demands of most national governments, but they have preserved universal human qualities of thought and feeling as they found their particular species niche in the natural habitat. Ethnology here must stay within the narrow bounds set by ecology, yet even within so strict a compass there is variation and imagination. This bibliography cites 272 sources and studies in an essay format. The essay is organized by subheadings: basic reference works (identifications and classifications); major ethnographies; prehistory; histories and historical materials; Indian accounts and personal histories; contemporary conditions; Native newsletters and newspapers; traditional Indian culture and society; language; and bibliographies and series. An alphabetical list of all works cited is included. All citations in the essay are keyed by means of bracketed numbers to the more complete information in the list. Preceding the list are two sets of recommended titles--one for the beginner and the other for a basic library collection. Works suitable for secondary school students are denoted by asterisks in the alphabetical list. This book can be useful to both beginning students and advanced scholars. (Author/NQ) |
