{"product_id":"shem-petes-alaska","title":"Shem Pete's Alaska","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eShem Pete (1896–1989), a colorful and brilliant raconteur from Susitna Station, Alaska, left a rich legacy of knowledge about the Upper Cook Inlet Dena’ina world. Shem was one of the most versatile storytellers and historians in twentieth century Alaska, and his lifetime travel map of approximately 13,500 square miles is one of the largest ever documented with this degree of detail anywhere in the world.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The first two editions of \u003ci\u003eShem Pete’s Alaska \u003c\/i\u003econtributed much to Dena’ina cultural identity and public appreciation of the Dena’ina place names network in Upper Cook Inlet. This new edition adds nearly thirty new place names to its already extensive source material from Shem Pete and more than fifty other contributors, along with many revisions and new annotations. The authors provide synopses of Dena’ina language and culture and summaries of Dena’ina geographic knowledge, and they also discuss their methodology for place name research.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Exhaustively refined over more than three decades,\u003ci\u003e Shem Pete’s Alaska\u003c\/i\u003e will remain the essential reference work on the landscape of the Dena’ina people of Upper Cook Inlet. As a book of ethnogeography, Native language materials, and linguistic scholarship, the extent of its range and influence is unlikely to be surpassed.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Kari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219412406564,"sku":"9781602233065","price":36.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_283186cf-00d2-44ed-ae95-59c10878bfa4.jpg?v=1780504171","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/shem-petes-alaska","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
