Being and Place among the Tlingit
2nd place winner of Julian Steward Award, American Anthropological Association.
This original 236-page monograph constitutes a major study of the Tlingit and of human place-making, based on primary ethnographic, linguistic, and geographic data collected over four years and supported by several grants (including a US National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship). The study is regional in scope (for Southeast Alaska), combining data from extended fieldwork in three major Tlingit communities with additional surveying in six others, and comparative research in neighbouring ethnic regions. The book includes a comprehensive review of the sense of place literature. Chapters 1-5 could each have been published as a substantial article in a peer-reviewed journal.
