Iņupiaq RavenIņupiaq Cultural Values

 

 Iņupiat Ilitqusiat

 

Every Iņupiaq is responsible to all other Iņupiat for the survival of our cultural spirit, and the values and traditions through which it survives. Through our extended family, we retain, teach, and live our Iņupiat way.

 

With guidance and support from Elders, we must teach our children Iņupiaq values:

Knowledge of Language
Sharing
Respect for Others
Cooperation
Respect for Elders
Love for Children
Hard Work
Knowledge of Family Tree
Avoidance of Conflict
Respect for Nature
Spirituality
Humor
Family Roles
Hunter Success
Domestic Skills
Humility
Responsibility to Tribe

 

Our understanding of our universe and our place in it is a belief in God and respect for all his creations.
