I'm full Alaskan native but I wasn't raised in my culture and I don't have the advantage of knowing any elders or relatives who could teach me their language. Do you have any idea how I can learn Inuit,Yupik,or Inupiat languages, or where to start? I'm a bit daunted by the challenge
This is a good question that I don’t have a good answer to. I have some resources on two languages—Uummarmiut and Siglitun—but they’re academic; they’re not focused on teaching you the language. If you actually want to learn it, you need instructional materials. I found this site, which at least one person on Reddit recommended, but I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t speak to how useful it is. It should at least be a place to start. Perhaps others who see this post will have other recommendations, or can reblog to see if we can add some resources. Best of luck to you!
