An excellent study of ancient and contemporary Aleut health
and medical practices. The material on the early Aleut is based on early sources, but the
analysis of contemporary Aleut health and diet is a result of physical examinations made by
the author when he was in the Aleutians with the Harvard University Peabody Museum Aleutian
expedition.
