阿拉斯加西南部的尤皮人是因纽特文化大家庭的成员。包括70个村庄的20，000多人在内，Yupiit人继续从事传统的狩猎活动，小心地跟随他们熟悉的环境的季节变化。在二十世纪，特别是在跨阿拉斯加石油管道修建之后，Yup'ik人目睹并经历了爆炸性的文化变革。人类学家Ann Fienup-Riordan探讨了这些亚北极猎人如何参与历史的“狩猎”，在他们自己的社区内以及他们与更大的世界之间建立联系。她转向尤皮特人自己，在她的文章中加入尤皮特人的雄辩叙述，用他们自己的话阐明了他们的狩猎传统。为了突出文化谈判的持续进程，Fienup-Riordan提供了生动的例子：Yupiit人如何使用隐喻来教导自己和他人关于他们的过去和现在的生活;他们如何保持他们的文化身份，即使在远离原住民村庄的情况下;以及他们如何与“下48”的博物馆合作，举办Yupik仪式面具展览。Ann Fienup-Riordan出版了许多关于Yup'ik历史和口头传统的书籍，包括Eskimo Essays：Yup'ik Lives and How We See Them，Yup'ik Masks和Bouncers and Passages的生活传统。她与尤皮人生活在一起，写了25年的尤皮人。
The Yupiit in southwestern Alaska are members of the larger family of Inuit cultures. Including more than 20,000 individuals in seventy villages, the Yupiit continue to engage in traditional hunting activities, carefully following the seasonal shifts in the environment they know so well. During the twentieth century, especially after the construction of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, the Yup'ik people witnessed and experienced explosive cultural changes. Anthropologist Ann Fienup-Riordan explores how these subarctic hunters engage in a "hunt" for history, to make connections within their own communities and between them and the larger world. She turns to the Yupiit themselves, joining her essays with eloquent narratives by individual Yupiit, which illuminate their hunting traditions in their own words. To highlight the ongoing process of cultural negotiation, Fienup-Riordan provides vivid examples: How the Yupiit use metaphor to teach both themselves and others about their past and present lives; how they maintain their cultural identity, even while moving away from native villages; and how they worked with museums in the "Lower 48" on an exhibition of Yup'ik ceremonial masks. Ann Fienup-Riordan has published many books on Yup'ik history and oral tradition, including Eskimo Essays: Yup'ik Lives and How We See Them, The Living Tradition of Yup'ik Masks and Boundaries and Passages. She has lived with and written about the Yupiit for twenty-five years.
