Reseña del libro "Yup'ik Words of Wisdom: Yupiit Qanruyutait, New Edition (en Inglés)"
This bilingual volume focuses on the teachings, experiences, and practical wisdom of expert Native orators as they instruct a younger generation about their place in the world. In carefully crafted presentations, Yup'ik elders speak about their "rules for right living"--values, beliefs, and practices--which illuminate the enduring and still-relevant foundations of their culture today. While the companion volume, Wise Words of the Yup'ik Peopleweaves together hundreds of statements by Yup'ik elders on the values that guide human relationships, Yup'ik Words of Wisdom, highlights the words of expert orators and focuses on key conversations that took place among elders and younger community members as the elders presented their perspectives on the moral underpinnings of Yup'ik social relations. The orators in this volume--including Frank Andrew from Kwigillingok, David Martin from Kipnuk, and Nelson Island elders Paul John and Thersea Moses--were raised in isolated Yup'ik communities in Alaska and were educated much like their parents and grandparents. Translated, edited, and organized for a general audience, this bilingual edition is for those who want to know not only what the elders have to say but also how they say it. A new introduction explores this book's impact over the past decade.Ann Fienup-Riordan is an independent scholar. She is the author and editor of many books, including Hunting Tradition in a Changing World: Yup'ik Lives in Alaska Today and Wise Words of the Yup'ik People: We Talk to You because We Love You, New Edition (Nebraska, 2018). Alice Rearden is a Yup'ik speaker and leading translator for the Calista Elders Council.
