Non-Western Blog

My Inupiaq Language and culture

I am not sure if the Inupiaq Eskimo Language is a Non-Western art topic, but I am going to do a blog on my Inupiaq Eskimo Language.

Inupiaq Eskimos used their Native language, and dialect everyday. Nowadays, our generation has to learn our own Native language all over again.

I can understand the conversations that older Inupiaq Eskimos speak, but I cannot speak my Native Language.

I want to learn how to speak my Inupiaq Language, I have met a few people that still speak my Inupiaq Language, and I understand what they are saying or what they are talking about. When asked to try to speak, I cannot speak my language fluently. I can say short phrases, but they are not much of a conversation.

Iñupiaq font is what I like writing, but I still have yet to learn to write some words in my language also. Media areaDrag a media file, upload a new one or select a file from your library.
