Based on Jochelson's 1909-1910 fieldwork with the Aleut, this is the ethnographic continuation of his archaeological investigations. This volume presents a comprehensive picture of Aleut society a hundred years ago.
"After nearly a century, Jochelson's works remain the most comprehensive treatment of Aleutian archaeology and ethnography in print. They are an indispensable resource for scholars, but thanks in part to the lavish use of historic photographs they also have great appeal for the lay reader." Rick Knecht, Museum of the Aleutians
