An Ethnohistory of Yuit and Inupiat Women's Culture

小行星9411706 本研究的重点是阿拉斯加的尤皮克和爱斯基摩人的编织文化。连续实践了至少一个世纪，盘绕的篮筐仍然几乎完全没有文献记载。盘绕的篮筐是一种女性艺术，因此已经被象牙雕刻和面具制作等男性艺术形式所掩盖。这项阿拉斯加原住民合作研究将是记录这种艺术形式的第一步。快速的社会变革对土著艺术形式产生负面影响的假设将被研究，艺术在加强阿拉斯加土著文化和性别认同方面的作用也将被研究。 *** ??

9411706 LEE The focus of this study is the weaving culture of Alaska Yup'ik and Inupiat Eskimo. Practiced continuously for at least a century, coiled basketry is nonetheless almost completely undocumented. Coiled basketry is a women's art and as such has been eclipsed by male art forms such as ivory carving and mask-making. This collaborative Alaska Native study will be a first step in documenting this art form. The hypothesis that rapid social change negatively impacts indigenous art forms will be examined as will the role of art in reinforcing cultural and gender identity in Native Alaska. *** ??
