Alutiiq language materials

The Archive just received a deposit of Alutiiq language materials prepared by the Native Village of Afognak with funding from the Administration for Native Americans. The materials include a curriculum workbook, a teacher's guide, and several story books. Materials have been adapted for the Kodiak dialect from materials originally prepared in the Chugach dialect. In addition, the materials are supplemented by new recordings. All of these materials can be accessed online at the Alutiiq Language Elementary Curriculum website.
