Excerpt:

Yup'ik culture encompasses Yup'ik way of life, how it's learned and passed on to youth. Some of the Yup'ik ways of life that are passed on are:

1. Its values and beliefs system.

2. Family organization and what family/member roles are.

3. How the groups/families meet their needs and desires.

4. How governing is accomplished.

5. How artistic feelings are expressed.

The Bilingual-Bicultural Education Programs uses the Yup'ik way of life as the primary means of educating the youth of Dillingham City Schools. Children need to feel pride in who they are and should know where they came from. Comparisons of ideas, ways of life are used from other cultures to enrich the programs.
