In the intervening century, a robust field of ethnographic research has grown around the Inuit and Yupiit of North America--but, until now, English-language readers have had little access to the broad corpus of work on Greenlandic natives. Worldviews of the Greenlanders draws upon extensive Danish and Greenlandic research on Inuit arctic peoples--as well as Birgitte Sonne's own decades of scholarship and fieldwork--to present in rich detail the key symbols and traditional beliefs of Greenlandic Natives, as well as the changes brought about by contact with colonial traders and Christian missionaries. It includes critical updates to our knowledge of the Greenlanders' pre-colonial world and their ideas on space, time, and other worldly beings. This expansive work will be a touchstone of Arctic Native studies for academics who wish to expand their knowledge past the boundaries of North America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Inuit $z Greenland $x History. 650 0 $a Inuit $z Greenland $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Greenland $x History. 651 0 $a Greenland $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Inuit. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977863 650 7 $a Inuit $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977906 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Greenland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205290 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sonne, Birgitte. $t Worldviews of the Greenlanders. $d Fairbanks : University of Alaska Press, 2017 $z 9781602233393 $w (DLC) 2017033908 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD246F46F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
