The Central Eskimo live away up north in that great American archipelago which lies between Hudson Bay, Baffin Bay, and the Arctic Ocean; an archipelago in which the islands are so large, so numerous, and so irregular in outline that, as one looks at a map of them, he could fancy they were "chunks" of the continent which had been broken to pieces by some huge iceberg that bumped into it.

Excerpt from A Treasury of Eskimo Tales The Central Eskimo live away up north in that great American archipelago which lies be tween Hudson Bay, Baffin Bay, and the Arctic Ocean; an archipelago in which the islands are so large, so numerous, and so irregular in outline that, as one looks at a map of them, he could fancy they were chunks of the continent which had been broken to pieces by some huge iceberg that bumped into it. The land is ice-bound during so much of the year that the inhabitants cannot depend upon getting a living by the cultivation of the soil, and have to subsist almost entirely upon meat which they get from reindeer, seal, bear, whale, and walrus.

In Favorite Eskimo Tales Retold, Ethel Ross Oliver retains an authentic Native Alaskan storyteller tone & evokes images of life in rural Alaska in a earlier time. Mrs. Oliver was the wife of Simeon Oliver, a noted Alaskan Aleut community & state leader. She lived in several rural Alaskan villages in the 1940s, as a teacher, wife, & mother. She collected the tales between 1945 & 1965. Many of them were told to her in the original Native Alaskan language & were translated by bilingual Native Alaskan speakers. The book's genesis goes back to 1927, when Simeon Oliver heard some of these tales for the first time & realized that they should be collected & preserved as a part of Native Alaskan heritage. The book includes a map which identifies the locations where Mrs. Oliver heard the tales told & the Native Alaskan storytellers who originally spoke the tales. Additionally, the book includes a glossary of native Alaskan words written by Joe Senungetuk, the book's illustrator & a noted Native Alaskan artist. The tales are equally suitable for reading as children's stories or for serious study by students of culture & folklore.
