Alaska Eskimo Footwear celebrates the incredible beauty and spiritual significance of the shoes and boots worn by Alaska Native peoples. Stunning photography brings the barsh and striking environment of the North alive and demonstrates how essential footwear was to Native survival, while Eskimo seamstresses, dancers, and hunters explain the symbolic meaning of their traditional patterns and decorative details. This full-color volume features photographs from museum collections in Canada, the United States, and Russia, as contributors from each major Alaska Eskimo group—Inupiaq, Yup’ik, Alutiiq, and St. Lawrence Islander—discuss skin preparation, boot construction, and decoration. A tribute to exquisite art and the women who practice it, Alaska Eskimo Footwear brings the beauty of the North—and its traditional wares—to life.

Alaska’s Secret Door
By Judy Ferguson Illustrated by Nikola Kocic’
In 1975, the Ferguson family left Alaska’s road system by canoe. They passed through an invisible door via the Tanana, Yukon and Innoko Rivers, plunging into the Athabascan Interior, where the river is the only road. Wind, sand and salmon, Alaska’s Secret Door presents Emmitt Peters, the winner of the 1975 Iditarod Trail Dogsled Race, fishwheels, and the mask dances of the lower Yukon. With maps and glossary, Secret Door is more than a children’s book; it is an experience into the heart of Alaska.
