Abstract
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.
