RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Collaborating With the Tiger: The Evolution of an Essay JF Arctic Anthropology JO Arctic Anthropol FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 190 OP 195 DO 10.1353/arc.2012.0030 VO 49 IS 2 A1 Mishler, Craig YR 2012 UL http://aa.uwpress.org/content/49/2/190.abstract AB Between 1986 and 1995 I collaborated with Tiger Burch on an ethnohistorical topic very close to both of us. The resulting extended essay on the Di’hąįį Gwich’in was published in 1995 under a title of his creation. I have revisited our correspondence from that era, along with working drafts, maps, and one structural issue that put us on a conflicting course. This key issue was eventually resolved to my satisfaction, if not to his. In reminiscing, I offer some insights into Tiger’s research methods, negotiating skills, pithy sense of humor, and our ongoing distant friendship.
