the lives of the healing women, the midwives, are not
forgotten.--Gordon L. Pullar "from the foreword"

ethnographic literature about Alutiiq people. Joanne Mulcahy's

standards for ethnographic studies. Truly outstanding, she stands
on the firm foundation established by Margaret Mead, Elizabeth
Marshall Thomas, and Colin Turnbull.--Richard Nelson "author of
