Describes the people and how the environment shaped their life and beliefs. Over thousands of years, Alaskan Eskimos have created a rich and unique culture and art in a brutally harsh environment. Will the identity of the Eskimo people survive the tremendous changes caused by the discovery of oil and subsequent economic development in Alaska today? The future of the Eskimo is related to the struggle for cultural survival of all ethnic or isolated groups in the modern world.
