Description: At Calista Education and Culture, we have been documenting Yup'ik traditional knowledge in southwest Alaska since 1998. During many of our discussions with elders, the subject of ircenrraat, the little people, would pop up. We have been fortunate to have heard many stories, and we are pleased to put them together in this book.
