 Inupiaq [Inupiat] - Alaska Native Cultural Profile
Burch, whose expertise is in Kivolina AK and subsequent areas points out that some Inupiaq people remained close to established communities while others were mobile.
"There were many taboos that an Inupiaq needed to be aware of, such as what we could or could not eat and how one individual lived would influence other people and the respect for Elders."
The Inupiaq People had a philosophy of life and lived it - Inupiaq Values.

 Inupiaq
In the 1970's, the Inupiaq people formed the "North Slope Borough," which is similar to county governance in other states.
The Inupiaq are the farthest north aboriginal people in the world.
The North Slope Borough taxes oil development within the borough and is now the wealthiest borough/county government in the United States.

 Alaska Native Languages -- Inupiaq
It can refer to a person of this group ("He is an Inupiaq") and can also be used as an adjective ("She is an Inupiaq woman").
Inupiaq is spoken throughout much of northern Alaska and is closely related to the Canadian Inuit dialects and the Greenlandic dialects, which may collectively be called "Inuit" or Eastern Eskimo, distinct from Yupik or Western Eskimo.
North Alaskan Inupiaq comprises the North Slope dialect spoken along the Arctic Coast from Barter Island to Kivalina, and the Malimiut dialect found primarily around Kotzebue Sound and the Kobuk River.

By May some Kindergartners will be speaking Inupiaq to varying extents while others will be speaking little or not at all on their own.
If possible, promote the Inupiaq language and culture at home by speaking Inupiaq with your child, reading and telling Inupiaq stories, doing traditional arts and crafts, and viewing videos produced in Inupiaq or with Inupiaq cultural content.
Most immersion programs are intended for children from families in which the target language is not spoken, so you should not be concerned if it is not possible to speak Inupiaq at home.

Eskimo languages are spoken by far northern people from the northeastern tip of Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, to East Greenland.
The Eskimo languages include the four Yupik languages of Alaska and Siberia as well as Inuit, the Alaskan sector of which is called Inupiaq.

 Inupiat Women and Urban Life
Why is it that Inupiaq women of the 1970s and 1980s were more likely than Inupiaq men to have more schooling, work year-round, have steadier employment hist ories, and live in an urban setting?
Findings from my Anchorage research indicate that Western views presuming assimilation of non-Westerners is the proper outcome obscure and even deny important dimensions of Inupiaq urban adaptation.
Although my comments are particular to this Alaska Native group, they have implications for others as well.

 GeoNative - Inuit - Kalaallit Nunaat - Nunavik - Nunavut
The Inuit have some autonomy now in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and will also be a self-governed territory soon in Canada in Nunavut (their homeland, covering part of the Northwest Territories).
Their language is divided in distinct languages or dialects, but has some unity.
It is called Yupik in South and Central Alaska, Inupiaq in North Alaska, and Inuktitut in Canada and Greenland.
