ROOTS "For me, Bering Strait is larger than the sum of its parts," Bill commented. "Together, Alaska and Chukotka participated in developments that led to the origins of Eskimo cultures. It happened through innovations and contacts of peoples solving problems, not as a result of military invasions. Reindeer herders moved from the Lena River valley east toward the strait, until they reached the maritime coastal peoples. Throughout history we have seen the importance of the free movements of peoples, ideas, and materials. This is the lesson of our trip to the New World." |
