    “Worldview” Deserves Special Attention

    Worldview – belief system, ceremonial practices, shamanism, core values, cultural identity, historical legacy

    An Alaska Native Worldview

    The past illuminates the present. We have said that worldview is the heart of our concept of culture and therefore deserves special attention. Now it is time for you to give it that special attention by exploring how your selected Native group or groups made sense of their spiritual, natural, and social worlds, and the rules for conducting themselves in these worlds. This exploration should tell us much about their cultural identity and how it was shaped by core beliefs and valued traditions.

    But first recall that one purpose of the Cultural Profile Project is to show how the study of traditional times can help us better understand modern Alaska Native life and civic affairs. We highlighted the connection between the distant past and the present when we discussed the historical research required when a tribe applies for federal recognition. And again when we discussed how Native aboriginal title served as the legal basis for Tlingit and Haida land claims and for ANCSA. Yet it may surprise you to know that understanding the spirituality of traditional Alaska Native worldviews can also have practical application in modern times. To illustrate this connection, we go to the Alaska Supreme Court case of Carlos Frank v. State of Alaska and the story it tells.

    In , Carlos Frank and several other Athabaskan Indians from Minto were arrested for taking a moose out of season for the purpos

    Tengautuli Atkuk / The Flying Parka - The Meaning and Making of Parkas in Southwest Alaska (Paperback)

    Parkas are part of a living tradition in southwest Alaska. Some are ornamented with tassels, beads, and elaborate stitching; others are simpler fur or birdskin garments. Although fewer fancy parkas are sewn today, many people still wear those made for them by their mothers and other relatives. "Parka-making" conversations touch on every aspect of Yup'ik life—child rearing, marriage partnerships, ceremonies and masked dances, traditional oral instructions, and much more. In The Flying Parka, more than fifty Yup'ik men and women share sewing techniques and "parka stories," speaking about the significance of different styles, the details of family designs, and the variety of materials used in creating these functional and culturally important garments. Based on nearly two decades of conversations with Yup'ik sewing groups and visits to the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of Natural History, this volume documents the social importance of parkas, the intricacies of their construction, and their exceptional beauty. It features over historical and contemporary images, full bilingual versions of six parka stories, and a glossary in Yup'ik and English.
