Lost? A culmination of, if events is the right wording. Knowledge passaway as the true elders go on into the next existence, all of whom as seen here are no longer living. My people whom I cherish so dearly, are forever in my loving memory and heart. I was not of that era, born in 1958 grew partially up in Nome 1958-1959. My parents temporarily moved us to west coast. Washington, Oregon and California moved back to Nome 1965, in '67 then moved to Anchorage. I called east end the old east end before the flood 1971 at least in my definition. In my memory seen umiak's (skin boats) going to and from King Island, order of hyde's, helped (gee-yoo-hooking) umiaks on the beach. My family, from two Pushruk and Sagmiganma, father Sassonga and mother Signuk. To be accurate, time and or in the hay day. As time goes on young one's chooses subconsciously to carry on there heritage or bend to today's culture thereby losing to speak or converse in everyday conversation, at least in my time if we spoke inupiaq we were slapped or shunned, looked at not allowed to to inupe-rouk. At least for me and my favorite cousin and buddy P. Ellanna when we rase to the bathroom and flooded the commode at school, then we only had hunny buckets ( third world America) yet I never seen it that way, for me was a magical and happiest days of my life, growing up wearing mukluks and parkas, sealskin mittens my bussy and hard working mother made me and my sisters. As seen in these clips, glimpses of yesteryear grew up eating seal meat as my father went out into sea ice to hunt to put food on our table. Going back of lost great deal yes example does anyone remember how to make umiak? Sew mukluks and parkas? Singing and dancing is still practice, mask dances, raven, walrus the medicine man the regalia with Eagle head dress, making Eskimo drum. Yet as time goes into future knowledge of old ways are lost as in making mukluks and real parkas the blanket toss, exact linguists of song but are coming back that's part of but the knowledge of elders are the ones lost for ever. I say I would like this story of my explanation, history of my journey in life not to be publish, so I exercise my right to ownership of above paragraph. A.P. PS this is my interpretation story others the KI's have theirs. The video has forgotten songs, hence ownership of said songs, regalia belongs to the people of King Island and direct linear descendants. Songs break down to family of composed songs. The very last part of this is that other villages use these songs without prior authorization, its problematic.

Thanks for sharing! So good to see familiar faces! Igamsiqanaghalek

My understanding is that the people of the village left the island at one point: When was that? When did they start to return? Do they stay year 'round, or just through the winter as before?

54:35 I love that song, nice song.
