Anthropos 84.1989: 423-431 Song Categories and Musical Style of the Yupik Eskimo Thomas F. Johnston Abstract. - This is a study of thirteen Yupik song categories in southwest Alaska, and the melodic, rhythmic, structural, and songtext characteristics which distinguish them from each oth er. Findings indicate that both song topic and song style are de termined in part by social function and by the social role of the singer. It is further indicated that Yupik Eskimo vocal music possesses (1) a core configuration of musical features which overrides song category, (2) musical and behavioral features which are common to the music of the Inupiaq Eskimo of north ern Alaska, and (3) musical and behavioral features which contrast with those found among the Inupiaq. [Alaska Yupik Eskimo, ethnomusicology, song categories and musical style] Thomas F. Johnston, Professor of Music at University of Alas ka. M. A. in Music, 1968; Ph. D. in Ethnomusicology, 1972. - Publications include: Eskimo Music: A Comparative Circum polar Study (Ottawa 1976); Tsonga Music in Cultural Perspec tive (Anthropos 1975); Community History and Environment as Wellspring of Inupiaq Eskimo Songtexts (Anthropos 1988). — Current research: Eskimo music (National Endowment for the Humanities). The Yupik Eskimo number about 17,000 in south west Alaska, residing in communities such as Be thel, Emmonak, Alakanuk, Hooper Bay, Scam- mon Bay, Toksook Bay, in communities on Nelson Island and Nunivak Island, and along the Yukon (St. Mary’s and Pilot Station) and Kuskokwim (Eek, Akiak) rivers. Here, the indigenous lan guage is stronger than among other Alaskan Na tive groups, the population larger, the climate slightly milder, and with a traditional subsistence which, in addition to hunting sea mammal, in cludes salmon fishing and reindeer herding. The Yupik feature their own radio station, Bethel’s KYUK, and their own Yupik language newspa per. Compared with the Inupiaq, Yupik communi ties are closer to the Athabascan Indians of the In terior, and there has occurred more historical in teraction, trade, and exchange of cultural traits. The Yupik are also closer to Anchorage, the large (200,000) multi-cultural metropolis situated on Cook Inlet, from which all supplies are flown by air to Yupik villages. The author carried out intermittent fieldwork in numerous Yupik villages 1973-1985, attending festivals, observing traditional dance, tape-record ing songs, interviewing musical performers, and documenting case histories of prominent song-leaders, such as traditional composer Joe Fri day of Chevak. This research was conducted under grants from the National Science Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The author also had access to a collection of tape re cordings made by ethnomusicologist Ronald Wal cott in 1972, now in the possession of the Alaska Native Language Center, Fairbanks. Vocal music is classified by the Yupik into thirteen main categories, as follows; 1. dance songs 2. shamans’ songs 3. hunting songs 4. teasing songs 5. travelling songs 6. berry-picking songs 7. story songs 8. juggling game songs 9. jump-rope game songs 10. ghost game songs 11. bird identification songs 12. fish identification songs 13. inqum ‘cooing’ songs The first six of these categories are mainly for adults, and the other seven are mainly for children. Custom dictates this arrangement, and there exists no particular taboo or prohibition controlling who performs what. In some of the categories, songs are sometimes sung by adults, for children. 1. The Dance Songs Traditional Yupik music in Alaska is largely vocal, there being only one or two musical instruments. The main musical instrument is the flat, round, wooden frame-drum covered with delicate sea mammal membrane. There is usually a traditional drum-maker in each village. Occasionally, one may observe rattles being employed, such as hoop
