The Alaska Office of the Smithsonian’s Arctic Studies Center hosted a St. Lawrence Island Yupik language and culture seminar in January 2012, bringing together seven fluent speakers: John Apassingok, Lydia Apatiki, Ralph Apatiki, Sr., Elaine Kingeekuk, Christopher Koonooka, Merlin Koonooka and Angela Larson. They met for five days to discuss Yupik objects in the Smithsonian exhibition Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage: The First Peoples of Alaska at the Anchorage Museum. The resulting twelve short videos and lessons offer teachers, students, parents and lifelong learners access to Yupik language and lifeways. One of those videos – saguyak (drum) – is presented here. • To see all of the videos and lessons, please visit the project microsite at Sharing Knowledge Alaska: http://www.mnh.si.edu/arctic/html/sha...
