This was his introduction to the Arctic and to anthropological fieldwork. This book presents, for the first time, his letters and journal entries from the year that he spent among the Inuit, providing not only an insightful background to his numerous scientific articles about Inuit culture, but a comprehensive and engaging narrative as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing a Scottish whaling station as his base, Boas travelled widely with the Inuit, learning their language, living in their tents and snow houses, sharing their food, and experiencing their joys and sorrows. At the same time he was taking detailed notes and surveying and mapping the landscape and coastline. Ludger Müller-Wille has transcribed his journals and his letters to his parents and fiancé and woven these texts into a sequential narrative. The result is a fascinating study of one of the earliest and most successful examples of participatory observation among the Inuit. Originally published in German in 1994, the text has been translated into English by William Barr, who has also published translations of other important works on the history of the Arctic. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIllustrated with some of Boas's own photos and with maps of his field area, \u003cem\u003eFranz Boas among the Inuit of Baffin Island, 1883-1884\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable addition to the historical and anthropological literature on southern Baffin Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e Foreword\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface to the Original German Edition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the English Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Germans and Inuit on Baffin Island in the 1880s\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Simple Relationships between the Land and the People\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoas and German Polar Research in the Early 1880s\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHuman Environmental Relations in the Arctic: The Ecological Approach \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFieldwork Methods: T am now truly just like a typical Eskimo'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJournals and Letters, 1882-1884: The Source Material\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTranscribing and Editing the Texts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFranz Boas and the Inuit Today\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJOURNALS AND LETTERS (MAY 1882 - SEPTEMBER 1884) 1884)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriod of Preparation in Germany, 1882-1883\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormulating and Securing the Research Plans\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Third German Geographers' Conference in Frankfurt a.
