This dissertation uses documentary and archaeological data to trace to the development of an Inupiat Eskimo labor force in the western Arctic commercial shore whaling industry in the late 19th and early 20 th centuries in north Alaska. The Inupiat Eskimo have for nearly a thousand years been communal hunters of the bowhead whale. Whaling defined them in the past as it does today. For hundreds of years, Eskimo attainment of socially prestigious umialik status, a whaling captain and rich man with whom one sought alliance in whaling, was in large measure limited to the kin of those already considered umialiit (pl.).

520 $a This dissertation uses documentary and archaeological data to trace to the development of an Inupiat Eskimo labor force in the western Arctic commercial shore whaling industry in the late 19th and early 20 th centuries in north Alaska. The Inupiat Eskimo have for nearly a thousand years been communal hunters of the bowhead whale. Whaling defined them in the past as it does today. For hundreds of years, Eskimo attainment of socially prestigious umialik status, a whaling captain and rich man with whom one sought alliance in whaling, was in large measure limited to the kin of those already considered umialiit (pl.).
520 $a Commercial pelagic whalers arrived at Point Barrow in 1854. In 1887, American commercial whalers shifted from sole reliance on summer pelagic whaling to the development of spring shore station whaling. In the course of their commercial hunting, Euro-Americans began hiring Eskimos to staff the shore stations, offering material goods and foodstuffs in remuneration for Eskimo labor. Thus began the commoditization of Eskimo labor and the development of an Eskimo industrial work force. The writings of whaler and trader Charles Brower in the Barrow area in the late 1800s and early 1900s detail the advent of these relations of production with Eskimos. Commercial whalers became virtual prime trading partners with their employees. The advent of Eskimo labor in commercial whaling altered prior social relations by undermining the existing power structure and expanding material access to umialik status throughout the community. It redefined the paths to umialik status and created a new generation of Inupiat whaling leaders.
520 $a Archaeological data from the site of commercial whaler John Kelly's 1891--1892 Point Belcher shore station describes the process and results of Inupiat labor force development. The station holds deposits only from the approximately one year residence of Kelly and his 80 Inupiat employees from Point Hope and the Noatak River, no occupation had occurred at the site before or since.
520 $a The summative result of the archaeology at Kelly's station is that while Inupiat Eskimos participated in commercial enterprise, they did not compromise the core values of being Eskimo. Those core values remain today. As one Eskimo said in 1990, "We are Eskimos. We are hunters". (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
