Incorporating elders' recollections of the system of ruled boundaries and ritual passages that guided their parents and grandparents a century ago, Ann Fienup-Riordan brings into focus the complex, creative Yupik world view - expressed by ceremonial exchanges and the cycling of names, gifts, and persons - which continues to shape daily life in communities along the Bering Sea coast. Her analysis is illustrated with many contemporary and historical photographs. Identifying \"metaphors to live by\", Fienup-Riordan tells of \"the Boy Who Went to Live with Seals\" and \"the Girl Who Returned from the Dead\". She explains how in Yupik cosmology their stories illustrate relationships among human beings, animals, and the spirit world - the \"boundaries and passages\" between death and the renewal of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 9.04 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44291502735462,"sku":"9780806126463","price":63.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/YjY4V01ZakVyU3hMTHZ2VlJDcmd5QT09.webp?v=1766866884","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/boundaries-and-passages-volume-212-rule-and-ritual-in-yupik-eskimo-oral-tradition-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
