Whales, Whaling Amulets, and Human–Animal Relations in Northwest Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica Hill.

The use of personal amulets appears to have been a common practice among northern hunting peoples of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Many of these amulets were intended to facilitate individual human relations with sea mammals. Cooperative whaling, however, required the development of an amulet that mediated group relations with prey. This paper describes a set of Alaska Eskimo whaling "charms" dated to the late 19th century and identified in museum collections from across the United States. The...

What if children lived here? Asking new questions of the material culture from old Anglo-Saxon settlement excavations. (2016)
