Book Description
It is 6000 miles as the crow flies from Kamchatka, Siberia to TEXAS. The Siberians who began the trip here, wound up 3000 years later in Texas. There is a continuous path of cave sites and rockshelters with Clovis and Folsom cultural artifacts along the way. All of us know by now that during the Pleistocene, ocean water was tied up in the Arctic ice to depths of a mile or more and the oceans of the world were lowered by possibly 300 feet. During this time there was a land bridge called Beringa open for travel, by foot, to North America. This is the story of how Asian people from Siberia were able to walk into Alaska, and colonize the Western Hemisphere. Kamchatka is a land filled with volcanoes and subterranian lava tubes, which sometimes have hot springs in them. In a land as cold as Siberia, these tube caves are a perfect environment for humans to live in comfort. Our trip began with Siberians in either caves or lava tubes along the Kamchatka peninsula, seeking the adventure of finding new worlds to the East. This is a tale of some fiction and fact and it is hoped that the reader will find the journey exciting.

Living with Koryak Traditions
Author: Alexander David King
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803235097
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
What does it mean to be a traditional Koryak in the modern world? How do indigenous Siberians express a culture that entails distinctive customs and traditions? For decades these people, who live on the Kamchatka Peninsula in northeastern Siberia, have been in the middle of contradictory Soviet/Russian colonial policies that celebrate cultural and ethnic difference across Russia yet seek to erase those differences. Government institutions both impose state ideologies of culture and civilization and are sites of community revitalization for indigenous Siberians. ø In Living with Koryak Traditions, Alexander D. King reveals that, rather than having a single model of Koryak culture, Koryaks themselves are engaged in deep debates and conversations about what ?culture? and ?tradition? mean and how they are represented for native peoples, both locally and globally. To most Koryaks, tradition does not function simply as an identity marker but also helps to maintain moral communities and support vulnerable youth in dire times. Debunking an immutable view of tradition and culture, King presents a dynamic one that validates contemporary indigenous peoples? lived experience.
