The book uniquely emphasizes the Yupik's active role in selectively adopting and adapting modern tools to fit their existing cultural values and economic needs, rather than portraying them as passive recipients of external influences.
It highlights how, historically, subsistence hunting and fishing were central to the Yupik economy, with complex resource management systems, and how modern gear disrupted these systems, leading to shifts in labor, wealth, and social structures.
The book progresses from establishing the cultural background and pre-modern techniques to analyzing the impact of specific technologies on fishing yields and socioeconomic implications.
