This book explores indigenous dances and social relationships surrounding the dance activities among Yupik on St. Lawrence Island and Iupiat in Utqiavik, Northern Alaska. Yupik and Iupiat proudly distinguish their indigenous styles of dance, locally called Eskimo dance, from Western styles of dance, such as ballroom, disco or ballet. Based on two years of intensive fieldwork and 18 years of experience living in Alaska, Ikuta sets out to understand how Yupik and Iupiaq dances are at the centre of social relationships with the environment, among humans, between humans and animals, and between Native and the Euro-American societies. It also examines how the nature and structure of dance are connected to cultural politics, wrought by political, economic and historical events.
