Notebook of Shaman Neck
Attempt by an Alaska-Eskimo shaman – who was converted to christianity – to translate the bible into his tribe’s native script, from the second half of the 19th century. Biblical names are in English/Latin script, as there was no equivalent. This page appears to be from Genesis 19, about the two angels who visited Lot, before Sodom and Gomorrah were destructed.
