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 .
