Gift of the Whale The Inupiat Bowhead Hunt, a Sacred Tradition

"[Hess's] goal is not just to introduce us to the Inupiat Eskimos of northern Alaska and their whale-centered culture, but to experience it, become a part of it, show us what it's like from the inside....Hess succeeds in giving us a portrait of a world we'd probably never know otherwise, but I think his real achievement is not so much his words and pictures as his courage, sensitivity and endurance."Hess, Bill is the author of 'Gift of the Whale The Inupiat Bowhead Hunt, a Sacred Tradition' with ISBN 9781570613821 and ISBN 1570613826.
