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.

Aarigaa! Feeling like a queen today in my #kuspuk and #beadwork #regalia!
The kuspuk was made by #NanuksCreations and the earrings necklace, and beaded bib/collar were made by my daughter's incredible godmother, Shannon!

"These creatures don't have #Inupiat names because they're new to this region, brought here by a warming planet (...) adding to the noticeable change in this far-flung region of the #Arctic."
