NANA Qatŋut: Northwest Arctic Trade Fair Iñupiaraaqta! Let’s Speak Iñupiatun! Nikanġiq – To be confident Pitchuksaaq – To encourage Kamanausruk – To be proud Want to hear these words and more? Download the app Iñupiaraaqta from the iTunes App Store on your iPhone or iPad, or on your android device at the Google Play store. The Qikiqtaġruq Northern Lights Dancers perform at Qatŋut 2019. The “Iñupiaraaqta” app was a project of the Iñupiaq Language Commission and supported by NANA and Maniilaq Association. The Iñupiaq Language Commission is responsible for guiding Iñupiaq language revitalization initiatives in the region. “Iñupiaraaqta!” means “Let’s Speak Iñupiatun!” For centuries, Qikiqtaġruk was a trading center due to its central location at the confluence of several rivers. Every two years, Qatŋut celebrates this history. For three days, Qikiqtaġruk welcomes dance groups from Utqiaġvik, Wainwright and King Island—as well as the Qikiqtaġruk Northern Lights Dancers from Kotzebue and the Napaaqtuġmiut Dancers from Noatak. Do you have a story, photos or comments for us? Contests during Qatŋut include fish cutting, maktak eating, niqipiaq, nallukkataq (blanket toss) and other Iñupiaq games. Contact [email protected] and let us know. NANA is proud to be a sponsor of Qatŋut, and we thank all the participants, volunteers and contributors.
