AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book provides a comprehensive description of Yukaghir culture and society based on ethnographic information and other evidence collected by the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. The focus of the expedition shifted from finding evidence for the peopling of the Americas across the Bering Straits to salvaging aspects of Yukaghir culture because they were deemed be on the eve of extinction from smallpox, starvation, and the burdens of a fur tax and tribute, as well as through absorption into other groups, including not just the politically-dominant ethnic Russians but other, relatively larger, native Siberian groups like the Sakha (Yakut) and Even (Tungus). Particularly detailed coverage is provided on mythology, religious practices, ceremonial artifacts, family life, health issues, transportation, and economic activities.
