The authors explore the relationships between Inuit shamans and their ability to communicate with nonhuman beings like Sedna, the sea woman, and how this is reflected and expressed in Inuit art. The authors show that despite the current dominance of Christianity, contemporary Inuit art and culture are still powerfully shaped and influenced by the shamanic traditions of the past.

Lifeways in Southwest Alaska today remains inextricably bound to the seasonal cycles of sea and land. Community members continue to hunt, fish, and make products from the life found in the rivers and sea. Based on a wealth of oral histories collected over decades of research, this book explores the ancestral relationship between Yup’ik people and the natural world of Southwest Alaska. Nunakun-gguq Ciutengqertut studies the overlapping lives of the Yup’ik with native plants, animals, and birds, and traces how these relationships transform as more Yup’ik people relocate to urban areas and with the changing environment. The book will be hailed as a milestone work in the anthropological study of contemporary Alaska.

"Alaska is known as the land of snow, ice, and long, cold winters. Temperatures can drop to 40 or more degrees below zero, and, when the wind blows, wind-chill factors can go to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is that cold, people and their pets go inside and huddle around warm stoves. Alaska's wild animals don't have heated houses. Where do they go at 40 below?"--Back cover

As temperatures drop, the animals that make the tundra home must ready themselves for survival.
