Abstract:
AbstractFifty years ago, in summer 1958, Russian authorities started a program of massive relocation of the Yupik population on the Chukchi Peninsula, Siberia. About 800 people, or roughly 70% of the small nation of 1,100 at that time, were forced to leave their home sites and were moved to other communities. Some basic facts related to the Yupik relocations of the 1950s have been known since the 1960s; but no first-hand narratives of the displaced people were ever published. The paper overviews the closing of the three largest Siberian Yupik communities of Naukan, Ungaziq (Chaplino) and Plove

Abstract:
Abstract Lexical change in Yupik and Inuit languages was relatively slow until the period of widespread cultural change brought about by contact with Europeans over the past few centuries, probably because there had been little earlier contact with other language families. The colonial period brought various groups to the Arctic and different waves of language contact, primarily with Danish, French, English, and Russian. Lexical borrowing has been significant, and old borrowings, often the result of early trade, can be distinguished from later ones and often pertain to food, tobacco, tools, fa

Abstract Far more Inuit women in Alaska are pursuing postsecondary education compared to Inuit men. Among Inupiat in Alaska, only 28% of students pursuing baccalaureate degrees at the University of Alaska are male, and the proportion of males receiving baccalaureate degrees declined from 2000 to 2003. Among Yupiit, 30% of students pursuing baccalaureate degrees are male. Similar gender disparities occur in programs for high school students designed to prepare academically able Indigenous students for college. This phenomenon can be interpreted either as a sign of “male malaise,” of disengageme

Abstract:
This review considers three books on the archaeology of territories situated around the Bering Sea—a region often referred to as Beringia, adopting the term created for the Late Pleistocene landscape that extended from north-east Asia, across the Bering Land Bridge, to approximately the Yukon Territory of Canada. This region is critical to the archaeology of the Arctic for two fundamental reasons. First, it is the gateway to the Americas, and was certainly the route by which the territory was colonised at the end of the last glaciation. Second, it is the place where the entire Aleut-Eskimo (Un

Abstract:
The paper deals with a number of typologically rare features present in the languages of Northern Siberia (Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, Ewenki, Neghidal, Ewen, to some extent also Yukaghir and Chukchi); these features are: interrogative mood of the verbs, intraclitics, nominal tense, polysemy ‘real’ / ‘autochtonous’. They are absent in the languages spoken to the south, including other Uralic and Tungusic languages, thus being of clearly areal character. On the other hand, none of the existing languages can be regarded as a source of these features, so that their origin must be due to a common sub

This article investigates the various senses and derivations of the term nuna in the Inuit-Yupik languages in order to reveal its origin in referring to the Arctic tundra. These languages arguably derive from that of the ancestors of the earliest inhabitants of the North American tundra, other inhabitants of the circumpolar Arctic today having only moved up at later times. Likely etymological correspondences in Eurasian languages of the far north support the original meaning of the word, whose connotations can be contrasted with those of English land, by which it is usually translated.

Abstract:
Inuktitut is a polysynthetic agglutinative language of the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan language family, with nearly 900 verbal inflections. Despite the complexity of its inflectional system, children acquiring Inuktitut as their native language start using inflections relatively early (Crago & Allen, 2001; Swift & Allen, 2002). One hypothesis is that caregivers simplify their child-directed speech (CDS) in a way that helps the children to break into the system. To date, relatively little research has focused on the use of inflections in CDS. The current study uses the data from eight Inuktitut

This work presents a step-by-step pipeline for the digitization of written texts, and the first publicly available digital corpus for St. Lawrence Island Yupik, created using that pipeline. This corpus has great potential for future linguistic inquiry and research in NLP.

La fouille des anciennes maisons est une pratique notoire chez les Yupik sibériens de l'île Saint-Laurent, Alaska. Les objets en ivoire, qui sont exhumés du sous-sol, sont ensuite recyclés ou vendus soit aux touristes, soit aux collectionneurs d'art primitif. Une telle situation est, d'après les archéologues, causée par une nécessité économique. Néanmoins, les opinions se calquent sur une terminologie héritée de l'ANCSA (1971) et de l'ARPA (1979), deux lois publiques favorables à l'exploitation des ressources du sous-sol dans les enclaves alaskiennes.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter addresses the question of word prominence in Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, a part of the Inuit dialect continuum constituting a branch of the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan language family. The Inuit language is an extreme example of polysynthesis, with productive noun and verb incorporation that can be applied recursively, along with extensive word-internal modification. The main analysis is based on original data from South Baffin Island (Qikiqtaaluk Nigiani) Inuktitut, but the chapter also examines the literature on other varieties from across the language family. We present acoustic analyses of three potential correlates of stress or prominence: duration, fundamental frequency and intensity. Duration of syllables increased at the end of the word, while fundamental frequency and intensity dropped at the right word edge. Word-internally, no alternating or other regular patterns appeared. Comparing these results to hypotheses of what would be expected for metrical stress systems and other types of word prominence, we conclude that there is no indication that South Baffin Island Inuktitut has stress or another type of word-level prominence. Instead, in line with previous research on Inuit prosody, we find that the language regularly marks the borders of words and other prosodic constituents.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter draws broadly from historical, legal, and anthropological literature to show how Indigenous societies were historically organized via extensive kinship networks that utilized clans, reciprocity, and responsibility in their structures and principles. The chapter emphasizes the ideas that are crucial to understanding how Indigenous peoples were organized socially, politically, and culturally before the European arrival. These include freedom, liberty, autonomy, a sense of territorial sovereignty and integrity, an understanding of peoplehood steeped in religious or spiritual understandings, and recognition of the importance of customary and natural law as a guiding force in individual and collective lives. Case studies of the Inuit and Yupic peoples within Alaska, the Tohono O’odham within Arizona and Mexico, and the Fox Nation are included to highlight the many differences in Native societies.
