Sharing is how Iñupiaq care for each other. It is how we make sure those who have less are
cared for.
y y Promote and teach sharing by making sure that the first catch or
gathering is shared and celebrated with our children.
y y Make sure non-Iñupiat who live with us or are visiting are
included, so they may feel welcome.
y y Always be available when someone needs help.
y y Advise all young people to help Elders with chores and to share
with them.
y y Advise children to respect the land they live on, the animals they
hunt, and the importance of sharing the catch.
y y Elders must demonstrate and advise others about sharing the
land with others, especially the harvesting of its resources.
y y Iñupiat must also be advised to share food with children, widows,
widowers and orphans.
y y Elders should promote and encourage family time through family
dinners and family gathering to teach obedience, listening, morals,
respect for all and to maintain our traditional way of life.
