AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This exhaustive and well documented study of the Koryak is based upon a winter's field study of both Reindeer and Maritime Koryak. It is amply supplemented by bibliographical references to the Koryak from earliest contact with the Russians to the time of publication. The author frequently draws upon his vast knowledge of the other peoples of Kamchatka peninsula and Northeast Siberia to give spatial and temporal distribution of Koryak culture traits. Considerable emphasis is placed upon the hypothetical relationship which may have existed among the peoples of the North Pacific, the Eskimo and the tribes of Northeast Siberia.
