AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Drawing on historical sources, this document describes changes in the lifeways of the Ingalik through four major episodes over the first century and a half of Euro-American contact: 1) early explorers and fur traders; 2) Christian missions; 3) the gold rush; and 4) the advent of government services, especially in health care, education, and economic development. In response, aspects of Ingalik culture were variously reinforced, replaced or modified.
