Great look into the Inuit Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a great book about the Inuit culture, specifically the whale hunts (obviously). The author covers the traditions, the rituals of the whale hunt itself, as well as the myths and legends of the people. Very well researched and written, it's a great look into the culture.
