Ipani Eskimos, A Cycle of Life in Nature, a book by James K. Wells, Alaska Methodist University Press, 1974. "There are countless books, research papers, articles and essays written about Alaska Natives, this is one of the few books written by an Alaska Native. The prose is simple and clear. It is easy to enjoy the read and overlook how it challenges stereotypes about traditional life. The author shows a life involving a great deal of knowledge and a range of skills and tools that many will find surprising. Traditional life consisted of a great understanding, work and learning to live in a particular area people made into their home." ...Paul Ongtooguk
