The Dance Festivals of the Alaskan Eskimo is a historical book written by Ernest William Hawkes in 1914. The book is a detailed account of the various dance festivals that were held by the Alaskan Eskimo tribes during the early 1900s. Hawkes, who was a renowned ethnographer and anthropologist, spent several years living among the Eskimo tribes and studying their culture and traditions. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of dances that were performed during these festivals, including the ceremonial dances, the hunting dances, and the social dances. Hawkes also describes the intricate costumes and masks that were worn by the dancers, which were often made from animal skins and other natural materials. The book also includes numerous photographs and illustrations, which provide a visual representation of the dances and the Eskimo way of life. Overall, The Dance Festivals of the Alaskan Eskimo is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Alaskan Eskimo tribes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
