Description: "The most detailed and well-illustrated study of material culture for any northern Athabascan language group to date, Gwich'in Athabascan Implements reproduces pre- and early postcontact tools that are historically important to the Athabascan people. A long-term collaboration between anthropologist Thomas A. O'Brien and Athabascan elder David Salmon, this volume provides more than forty one-to-one sketches of a wide variety of implements, many of which are no longer commonly in use."--Pub. desc.
