This book features a collection of photographs from an early anthropological expedition to the North West Coast of Canada, Alaska and Siberia. In 1897 Morris Jessup, president of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, sponsored a five-year expedition to the North Pacific. Under the Direction of anthropologist Franz Boaz, research teams studied the cultural and biological similarities and differences among the several peoples living on both sides of the Bering Strait, the presumed route of migration from Asia to North America. The immense research project left a legacy of classic ethnographies, irreplaceable museum collections, and some three thousand photographs.
