Continuing the sacred tradition of her ancestors, in Once Upon an Eskimo Time Edna Wilder retells a year in her Eskimo mother’s life. Wilder eloquently captures the oral storytelling traditions of her people, and she employs descriptions of the weather and harsh climates of Alaska’s Norton Sound to illustrate the hardiness of her mother’s spirit. Family values, subsistence living, and the cycle’s of life form a narrative that captures the now-vanished lifestyle along the Bering Sea. “Readers of whatever age will enjoy Nedercook’s delightful account of the day-to-day, legends, and beliefs of the ancient Eskimo village of Rocky Point.”—Ames Tribune

Then he told the man that he was storing all this walrus-meat for summer use, since it was impossible to leave the hut in the summer on account of the heat and the mosquitoes. The visitor remained with the tuneq for some time; but finally he became tired of staying in the house, and insisted on going caribou-hunting, if only for a single day. The tuneq warned him, saying, "It is still too warm. The mosquitoes will kill you." The man took his advice and staid at home. After some time, however, he became impatient again, and, notwithstanding the tuneq's warning, he insisted on going out. quitoes are dreadful, they will certainly kill you;" but the man replied, "I will only go for a single day.

Evening came, but he did not return. They waited day after day, but he did not come. When it began to be cold, the tuneq went out and searched all over the country for his friend. Finally he found him dead. He had his stick in his hand, and many mosquitoes were lying dead beside him, but they had sucked out all his blood. Then the tuneq went home and told the woman how her husband had died. Once upon a time two women had lost their way, and finally came to Aukinerbing, where there was a village of Ijiqan.

TOP o’ the WORLD is a tale of ONCE UPON A TIME….. This is a child’s fantasy / fairy tale of Maida who visited the Wishing Pole at the North Pole, despite some very wise men with bald heads and long white beards who say there isn’t a Wishing Post at all! This is one of those gems of the children’s literary world that for some unfathomable reason never became a best seller. Not only does it have a cracking story-line it also has six exquisitely crafted full page colour plates but also 20 BnW vignettes to help young readers visualise the story as it progresses. In this book you will read about how Maida, who loves ice-cream, met the “Man with the Growly Voice”, who was an arctic explorer who told her a whole lot of interesting things about his journeys and voyages AND about the wishing post. The last thing she remembered, he was telling her about the time he met Father Christmas at the North Pole – and then she woke up in bed with a desire to find the Wishing Post and Father Christmas. Then he room was flooded with a bright eerie light. So, she went to the window and saw the Man with the Growly Voice who came to her and said, “I’ve come to take you to the Wishing Post.” What happened next you may ask? Well you’ll just have to download this book and find out for yourself. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Top o the World, Maida, Aunt Mary, Man with the Growly Voice, North Pole, Polar Bear, Santa Claus, afraid, airship, alone, Arctic, Arcturia, Aurora Borealis, beautiful, bedtime story, believe, Billy, Candy, children, children’s story, climate, Disconsolate, Eskimos, explorer, fable, Fairy tale, fantasy, Folklore, Forbidden, happy, ice-cream, Illusia, Inuit, journey, Jack Frost, Jack-in-the-Box, Kankakee, Kokomo, Lover, Nortern Lights, poor, scream, Snow, story, three, two, Walrus, White Queen, window, Wishing, wonderful, young

Fifty years after her first fieldwork with Ju/'hoan San hunter-gatherers, anthropologist Megan Biesele has written this exceptional memoir based on personal journals she wrote at the time. The treasure trove of vivid learning experiences and nightly ponderings she found has led to a memoir of rare value to anthropology students and academics as well as to general readers. Her experiences focus on the long-lived healing dance, known to many as the trance dance, and the intricate beliefs, artistry, and social system that support it. She describes her immersion in a creative community enlivened and kept healthy by that dance, which she calls "one of the great intellectual achievements of humankind." From the Preface: A few years ago I finally got around to looking back into the box of personal field journals I had not opened for over forty years. I found a treasure trove. It was an overwhelming experience. So much that I had forgotten came vividly alive: I laughed, wept, and was terrified all over again at my temerity in taking on what I had taken on. To do justice to the richness of these notebooks, I realized, I would have to do a completely different sort of writing from anything I had ever done before.
