‎Our Arctic Province - Alaska and the Seal Islands‎

‎xvi, 473, 6 (ads) pages. Many black and white illustrations. Reprint of the 1886 first edition. The author's intention with this work was "to portray in word, and by brush and pencil, the life and country of Alaska as it is, so clearly and so truthfully, that the reader may draw his or her own inference, just as though he or she stood upon the ground itself." - from Introduction. Publisher's black cloth very handsomely adorned with gilt lettering and red and yellow illustration. Writing and large sticker scar inside front board. Lacking back free endpaper and map which was affixed there. Moisture stains to bottom edge of all pages - text unaffected. Hinges open. Binding open in two places. Prior owner's blind stamps. Despite these many issues, still an outwardly attractive reference copy. Arctic Bibliography 4545, Wickersham 2372. Book‎

His duties brought him into close contact with the Tlingit Indians, whose respect he won and from whom he gained an understanding of and respect for their culture. He became a friend of many Tlingit leaders, visited their homes, traveled in their canoes when on leave, purchased native artifacts, and recorded native traditions. In addition to an interest in native manufacturing and in the more spectacular aspects of native life-such as bear hunting, Chilkat blankets, feuds, and the potlatch-Emmons showed the ethnographer's devotion to recording all aspects of the culture together with the Tlingit terms, and came to understand Tlingit beliefs and values better than did any of his nonnative contemporaries. He was widely recognized for his extensive collections of Tlingit artifacts and art, and for the detailed notes that accompanied them. At the request of Morris K. Jesup, president of the American Museum of Natural History (which had purchased Emmons's first two Tlingit collections), and on the recommendation of Franz Boas, Emmons began to organize his notes and prepare a manuscript on the Tlingit. During his retirement, he published several articles and monographs and continued to study and work on his comprehensive book. But when he died in 1946, the book was still unfinished, and he left several drafts in the museum and also in the provincial archives of British Columbia in Victoria, where he had been writing during the last decades of his life. Frederica de Laguna, eminent ethnologist and archaeologist with long personal experience with the Tlingit, was asked by the museum to edit The Tlingit Indians for publication. Over the past thirty years she has worked to organize Emmons's materials, scrupulously following his plan of including extracts from the earliest historical sources. She also has made significant additions from contemporary or more recent authors, and from works unknown to Emmons or unavailable to him, and has given the ethnography greater historical depth by presenting this information in chronological order. She has also added relevant commentary of her own based on her encyclopedic information about past and present Tlingit culture. With the help of Jeff Leer of the Alaskan Native Language Center, an expert on Tlingit, she has provided modern phonetic transcriptions of Tlingit words whenever Emmons has given native terms in his own idiosyncratic and inconsistent versions of Tlingit.

‎FILM HISTORY; ALASKA‎

‎Photographs from the filming of Eskimo.‎

‎Alaska: 1932-3. The first Hollywood film to be shot in a Native American language A collection of behind-the-scenes photographs documenting the production of Eskimo 1933. With a mostly Native American cast it was the first feature film shot entirely on location in Alaska and the first to incorporate the Iñupiat language. Produced over a 17-month period it captured scenes of hunting and daily life with documentary realism. The photographs include images of the cast and crew among them the Iñupiaq lead Ray Mala Lotus Long Peter Freuchen and director W. S. Van Dyke as well as indigenous actors in traditional parkas and mukluks. Also shown are scenes of walrus and moose hunts extras posed in igloos animal processing and film equipment in use. Mala accompanied the Danish Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen on an expedition from 1921 to 1924 collecting and describing Inuit songs and legends. The following year Mala commenced his career in Hollywood where he worked for almost 30 years. Eskimo later re-released as Mala the Magnificent was directed by Van Dyke and adapted from Freuchen's writings. Depicting encounters between Inuit communities and Western traders the film was not a commercial success. Still it was praised for its realism and awarded the inaugural Academy Award for Best Film Editing. Van Dyke known as "One Take Woody" for his efficient work made several other early sound films including Tarzan the Ape Man 1932 The Thin Man 1934 and San Francisco 1936. 48 silver gelatin prints from 64 x 88 to 87 x 105 mm. portrait and landscape format some stamped "Velox" on the verso others with pencilled numbers. A small number are copy prints. Some a little yellowed or with silver mirroring a few minor surface abrasions: a very good collection.

"The book first presents a concise summary of the health aspects of traditional Alaskan cultures, then reconstructs the best available picture of the various deseases from which the people suffered up to the time of the first European contact. Next, the narrative follows the often uneven growth of health services in Alaska, from the ships' surgeons on the earliest voyages of exploration and the unique health care system of the Russian-American Company to the American medical missions in the hectic times of the Gold Rush. The final section provides sketches of certain health problems having a profound impact on Alaska history, including smallpox, influenza, syphilis, tuberculosis, and alcohol abuse." 393 pages.‎
