Résumé:

Les fêtes hivernales «privées» chez les Eskimos asiatiques constituent un sous-ensemble particulier des rituels traditionnels qui ne fut qu'effleuré par les ethnographes. Cet article présente quelques variantes de ces fêtes hivernales célébrées dans les années 1910-1920 dans les villages de Caplino, Avane, Irntuk et Sireniki.

Abstract:

"Private" winter rituals among Asiatic Eskimos represent a particular kind of traditional rituals which have been only sparsily documented by ethnographers. This paper describes a few instances of these celebrations as they took place in the 1910's-1920's in the villages of Caplino, Avane, Irntuk and Sireniki.
