Excerpt:

SITES is a program activity of the Smithsonian Institution that organizes and circulates exhibitions on art, history, and science to institutions in the United States and abroad.

SITES Exhibition Coordinator, Martha M. Cappelletti; Publications Officer, Andrea P. Stevens.

In conjunction with the exhibition Inua: Spirit World of the Bering Sea Eskimo, the Smithsonian Institution Press has issued two publications. The first is a reprint of the original Nelson monograph, Bureau of American Ethnology Annual Report 18 (1899), entitled The Eskimo About Bering Strait. The second is a fully illustrated book, Inua: Spirit World of the Bering Sea Eskimo compiled by William W. Fitzhugh and Susan A. Kaplan. These two publications focus on this unique culture, recording the ingenuity of a people in utilizing resources and fine craftsmanship to insure survival in a difficult environment.
