This is another rare catalog which captures the best artifacts from the museum exhibit. Lots of excellent photographs of the appliqued and embroidered fish skin coats of the Sibero-Alaskan peoples, fishing gear, shaman tools and every day household items. Chapters are arranged by tribe, and give excellent insight into both their physical and spiritual practices. Great maps showing the migratory routes of the various tribes. An invaluable resource for the study of these cultures.
