Inupiaq Language

On this site, you will find resources for teaching and/or integrating the indigenous languages of our school district. There are two major dialect groupings for the Inupiaq language in Bering Strait School District: Seward Peninsula (commonly referred to as Bering Strait in statewide communication) and Norton Sound, which has a large Malimiut population.

I have recently been directed to an error in this transcription. Once I have a chance to review the entire transcription with a fluent speaker, I will be sending an updated Pledge in written and audio form. It is slight but an important distinction.
