註釋

Spirit of Siberia details how the Indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East make, wear, and interpret the meaning of their clothing and footwear. The authors describe traditional construction techniques and document the intricate designs executed in fur, embroidery, beads, applique, paint, and dye that adorn Indigenous apparel, from everyday parkas and boots to shamans' robes. Symbolically decorated boots and clothing allow people to maintain strong connections with the spirits of ancestors, animals, and the land itself that are critical to their survival. In recording the complex belief systems that inform nearly every aspect of a garment's construction and decoration, Oakes and Riewe also trace the history of the region, exploring relationships among different groups in both historical and contemporary times.
