The Eskimos and Aleuts

Author: Don E. Dumond

Publisher: Thames & Hudson (1987) (Revised Edition)

A study of the prehistory of the Eskimo-Aleut peoples who live along the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands. The first direct encounters between Europeans and various peoples described in this book began with no single dramatic sequence of events, but rather were spread across nearly 1000 years and 11,000 kilometres, and were parts of diverse episodes in the history of western expansion.
