"This volume is a strong reminder that culture areas exist in their own right, sprawling across national or tribal territories, and that the range of culture includes more than survival traits. The Indians of subarctic North America have adapted to a physical habitat that imposes taxation in terms of time and energy far beyond the demands of most national governments, but they have preserved universal human qualities of thought and feeling as they found their particular species niche in the natural habitat. Ethnology here must stay within the narrow bounds set by ecology, yet even within so strict a compass there is variation and imagination.

The Indians of the Subarctic has two main parts: an essay and an alphabetical list of all works cited. All citations in the essay are keyed by means of bracketed numbers to the more complete information in the bibliography. The book is immensely useful to both beginning students and advanced scholars."--Back cover.
