Description
In a treeless land far north of the Arctic Circle, the Iu00f1upiat live immensely practical lives, yet they have a profound belief in the spirit world. For them, everything--whether living being or inanimate object--has a spirit. This outlook reflects their sense of the connectedness of all life. The Hands Feel It is the account of one person's experience among the Iu00f1upiat. Anthropologist Edith Turner records occurrences of healing, spirit manifestation, and premonition in her narrative of a year in the life of an Eskimo community. Her diary captures for the reader sea ice, tundra, gravel beaches, and a determined and cheerful population. Sights, sounds, and even smells that Turner encounters provide context for a study in tune with the spiritual. Accounts that ethnographers have often termed "myth" and "legend" Turner sees from a different point of view--not as mere stories but as real events the Iu00f1upiat sincerely report to her. The value of Turner's work originates in her own connection to spirituality and in the growing receptiveness of the Iu00f1upiat to her.
