Claire Fejes's unusual book is the fruit of five long visits made to Alaska's remote northwest coast to sketch and to paint the Eskimos and to share their daily experiences. A personal narrative in text, drawings, and paintings, it concerns the people of two Eskimo villages -- Noatak, the summer settlement of a nomandic tribe that lives mainly in the wilderness interior, and Point Hope, whose economy centers chiefly around the hunting of the great bowhead whale.
