Naut'staarpet-Our Plants by Priscilla N. Russell Pdf

Priscilla Russell worked with Elders to record information on plant harvesting, processing, and use, as well as their Alutiiq plant names, at a time when few others were collecting such information and when Alutiiq people were leery of sharing cultural information for fear of bigotry. Because Russell made the effort to visit Alutiiq communities and spend time with people, she was able to speak to many harvesters and document their knowledge extensively. The Elders Russell spoke with were born in the early decades of twentieth century, at a time when subsistence foods were the bulk of people's diets and before groceries could be dependably purchased in remote communities. Therefore, the knowledge in this book reaches back to an older era when it was commonplace for people to use wild plants for food, tools, fuel, and medicine.

Yungcautnguuq Nunam Qainga Tamarmi/All the Land's Surface is Medicine by Ann Fienup-Riordan,Alice Rearden,Marie Meade,Kevin Jernigan Pdf

In this book, close to one hundred men and women from all over southwest Alaska share knowledge of their homeland and the plants that grow there. They speak eloquently about time spent gathering and storing plants and plant material during snow-free months, including gathering greens during spring, picking berries each summer, harvesting tubers from the caches of tundra voles, and gathering a variety of medicinal plants. The book is intended as a guide to the identification and use of edible and medicinal plants in southwest Alaska, but also as an enduring record of what Yup’ik men and women know and value about plants and the roles plants continue to play in Yup’ik lives.

Unigkuat by Dehrich Chya,Amy Steffian Pdf

Action and mystery, long journeys and valuable lessons-these are the ingredients of Alutiiq legends. In a village terrified by an enormous octopus, people work together to kill the beast.

Illustrated with images by contemporary community artists.
