NANA partnered with the Aqqaluk Trust to produce the second edition of the Iñupiatun Dictionary. The project was guided by our Elders who serve on the NANA Regional Elders Council and by the Iñupiaq Language Commission. They seek to retain and restore our language for future generations. They understand that the revitalization of our language is vital to the continuity of our Iñupiat culture and traditions.
