“Each chapter offers something interesting for the reader...One can list bright and sometimes provocative ideas put forth by each contributor…The main advantage of this book is the ability to spark interest among the most diverse groups of specialists in the field of indigenous cultures.” · Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale“…being packed with ethnographic, historical, and archaeological data, [this volume] can serve as an introduction to regional circumpolar studies as well as to Northern communities, past and present, indigenous or simply local.” · Laboratorium. Russian Review of Social Research“A very exciting book that addresses classical topics of anthropology of the North: housing, hearth and household, with a completely renewed approach. Chapters reconsider central issues in the study of material culture and social organization with a vivid ethnography and a compelling theoretical questioning.” · Charles Stépanoff, Sorbonne
