Hi

In Yupik, Wolf is Kegluneq.

Beautiful People , our People face our disappearing language also less than 20 of us left alive.

This lady has no accent at all

Great video and priceless information! Thank you!

As an Irishman, my heart breaks for these people, especially the elders who long to keep their language alive. I first heard of this language through a Yup'ik friend of mine, unfortunately he can't speak it, but wishes he could. Where I'm from in Ireland, an Cabhán, the last native speaker of my counties dialect of Irish died in 1938. Through audio recordings of the last native speaker and documented information in PDFs I've been able to learn the dialect, even though it is extinct. Stories, old sayings and proverbs were recorded, vocabulary used in day to day life, it's so beautiful. I hope the Yup'ik people and other Native Americans can revitalise their languages and make them the working languages again. Much love from Ireland ❤

Lol me sister back then she is the one who smiled at the airport

Thank you.

No noy attached his name is atsa

I school there and live there and that kid with blonde his name is attached

What is wrong with the KZbin algorithm, brought me to LKSD Media on my feed

My daughter is headed to Tununak in July to teach elementary. She's very excited. It will change her life. For the better. They have much to teach her also.

Even if we never learn the secret beauty of your language, hold on to it for yourself and ancestors. That you deserve, and owe yourselves! All the best!

That's my late brother, RIP. I dearly miss you. 😢

Beautiful

Thank you for sharing this story!

Wonderful. I hope you have been teaching your daughter how to make those beautiful boats!

keep speaking in Yup'ik, no matter what!!!

Respect the Native culture wishes, always 🖖🏽

i can't believe no one said they're from good mythical morning

2:03 "These TVs are making the younger generation's language fade away", he says while wearing a 'Deadliest Catch' shirt. He's right of course but it's simply inevitable. With increasing globalization this will only be one of many languages to go extinct. And I understand that it's sad because with each language some of the culture dies too. But that's the way it goes and has always been. So many historic languages are long forgotten. Some are so far gone we're not even sure anymore if they ever existed. Looking at the positive, young folks growing up in remote places have more chances today than ever before. In the past you couldn't just go to university in California. People couldn't simply fly to a tropical place. Now they can. Or they can stay and keep living the old way. But the rest of the world will come whether one likes it or not. Whether one tries to stop it or not. Time and progress can not be stopped. What the kids see on the internet, they're not going to unlearn.

My native language is yupik but sadly never got to learn it

I wish that the video editor removed the music. I wanted to hear the people speak. Not listen to a song !

Having a kid babysit his siblings is one thing, but it's not the siblings fault when the other one decides to break the rules.

So good to hear my Uicung Grant K's voice.

Im native Alaskan and I’m Iñupiaq yupik sound a little like Iñupiaq but in our language we speak faster but you guys are a older version of us Iñupiaq

Only way to get our language back is to get it the way it was taken away from us. Remove them from the english speaking homes into a remote yupik speaking environment with teachers qualified to teach it.

I wanna learn Yup'ik so bad! Does anyone know a teacher who would teach it online?

I Am Going To See You Again When I Go To Alaska

Kristen It Is Me Sophie

What a beautiful down town beach

Lmfao she’s your cousin anyway 😂

Hilarious

What do you do with it though?

💕🌈🙏

❣️🌈🙏

I am a Yupik women.

What a shame that smaller cultures get absorbed into bigger ones because there simply are more people there and slowly annihilated. Just imagine how many languages and dialects already disappeared (and continue to do so) because they didn't have the means to share their culture (i.e. internet). I am very happy to see that videos like this one exist and that this culture will not be forgotten.

YUPIK Eskimo is my native heritage, from my father!

I’m trying to find the origin of some ivory have by Jim Shavings! Is he related?

You are by the rivver

Is that Hunter

I believe they came from Mongolia. First thought came to my mind was they look like my people.

RIP Uncle Chuck...

It’s should be extremely important for the younger generation to safeguard, protect and learn the language before extinction. Since this is such an isolated community I would think the school system would allow classes to early students for preservation

A joy when I was in Alaska in the mid 90s was hearing Yup'ik spoken on the radio midday - so much culture is interwoven with language - loved the comment "start dancing and you will sing in Yup'ik" 💗

Is that Kimberly😱

Fantastic video. Thank you.

I am greenlandic inuk, but I cannot understand their language.
