Ciuliamta Akluit / Things of Our Ancestors

"Taken together, Fieldwork Turned on its Head and Things of Our Ancestors are extremely well done, both as products and as examples of a successful collaborative research effort. For those with an interest in northern indigenous communities and cultures the two books are moving accounts of a research partnership that joined indigenous knowledge bearers with academic and museum professionals, the result of which was to place indigenous knowledge at the center rather than at the periphery of the research enterprise and the resulting volumes."—Museum Anthropology Review

"The Yup'ik delegation transformed anthropological material culture into moral teachings, ceremonial songs, hunting lore, dance steps, and vehicles for cultural pride. ..This book would be a valuable addition to any applied anthropology, material culture, or indigenous knowledge course and should encourage others to participate in collaborative museology."—American Anthropologist
