Apologies to those who prefer the heat, but this chick needs some winter weather for consecutive weeks because I really, really, really want to use my crockpot without having to trick myself into a state of coziness by turning on the air conditioner.

There’s not much representation of indigenous people in media. The closest I could find that represents my culture, is an Inuit ghost in the animated movie Soul. I can’t even find a clip of it to share. #inuit #inupiaq #indigenous #alaska

The small river that runs through our village has started running, which is the official/unofficial sign of REAL spring. Me and the kids go for nature walks on the good weather days and chat about plants and animals. Today the kids found some beautiful honeycomb ice. #arctic #alaska #inupiaq

A kind of Inupiaq self portrait. My favorite ulu, a woman’s knife. Decorated with my favorite plants. It is worn and a bit shallow on the blade and you can see it was cut from a larger saw blade. #inupiaq #alaska #arctic #indigenous #ulu #knife
The Inupiat are a group of Alaska Natives whose traditional territory roughly spans northeast from Norton Sound on the Bering Sea to the northernmost part of the Canada–United States border. Iñupiaq is spoken throughout much of northern Alaska and is closely related to the Canadian Inuit dialects and the Greenlandic dialects, which may collectively be called "Inuit" or Eastern Eskimo, distinct from Yupik or Western Eskimo. These are the people of the ice as much as the land, and much of their life and culture revolves around the sea ice. Subsistence, or traditional hunting and gathering practices, provide a large part of their diet to this day. The Iñupiat hunt both marine and land mammals, and also birds. They fish and gather berries in season. Most of the communities in the northern and northwest Arctic region can only be flown to, but some are occasionally accessed by boat. There is no road system that connects them all, which is true for much of Alaska. During the winter, some of the communities can be reached by snowmobile. Utqiaġvik (formerlly Barrow) is one of the largest Iñupiaq settlements in Alaska and is the northernmost community in the United States. The Nalukataq whaling festival is held in Utqiaġvik in June following a successful whaling season. The purpose of the festival is to appease the spirits of deceased whales so that they will return in the form of new whales the next season. In addition to dancing, singing, and food, the whaling festival includes a tradition familiar to some visitors — the blanket toss. While it's now conducted as entertainment, it didn’t originate that way. An Iñupiaq hunter would be tossed in the air, enabling him to see across the horizon to hunt game. During today's celebrations, thirty or more Iñupiaq gather in a circle, holding the edges of a large skin made from walrus hides, and toss someone into the air as high as possible.
