National Bilingual Materials Development Center Tupou L. Pulu . Anchorage, Alaska Mary L. Pope May 21, 1981 1 INTRODUCTION During the school year 1980-81, twenty-eight of Alaska's fifty-two school districts implementedbilingual-bicul- tural education programs. These programs were transitional, full,or partial maintenance in nature, or they pro- vided for the teaching orsupplementary English skills and concepts. In all,over 8,500 students from fifty-six dif- ferent language backgrounds were served by bilingual-bicultural educationprograms supported through the Alaska Public School Foundation SupportProgramat a level of approximately $8.4 million. The Seventh Annual bilingual-Multicultural Education Confer e, sponsored by the Department of Edqgation and supported by twenty-five add itionakrganizationsand school ditiricts, wasa major activity_of the Department of Ethicdtion in providing training assistance to all persons involved in .bilingda.1-bicultural educationprograms. The conference theme, "Let Us All Come Together", was used to emphasize the important roles ofparents, elders, school personnel and students in developing and implementing strong bilingua -bicultural education piogramsin Alaska. Over fifty workshops were offered to help the above groups CO more filly participate in bilingual educa- tion programs at the community and school district levels. The joyous celebration of Alaska's multicultural population was made possible througli seventeen presentations . of the arts of most of our major.ethnic groups: These presentations included cances,songs, shows of ethnic cos- tumes and displays of various art forms. The Department of Education hopes that this report will enable all of thoseho participated in the conference to reflect upon what was learned and shared. It also hopes that thii report will help to keep the spirit of "sharing in our children's education: alive for everyone who attended the conference, For our friends who could not attend the Conference, the Department hopes that this.report will help demon- strate the strength and growth of bilingual-bicultural education when we all come together.

  • The Eskimo Language Work of Aleksandr Forshtein
    Alaska Journal of Anthropology Volume 4, Numbers 1-2 The Eskimo Language Work of Aleksandr Forshtein Michael E. Krauss Alaska Native Language Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks, AK 99775, ff [email protected] Abstract: Th e paper focuses on another aspect of the legacy of the late Russian Eskimologist Aleksandr Forshtein (1904-1968), namely his linguistic materials and his publications in Eskimo languages and early Russian/Soviet school programs in Siberian Yupik. During the 1930s, the Russians launched an impressive program in developing writing systems, education, and publication in several Native Siberian languages. Forshtein and his mentor, Waldemar Bogoras, took active part in those eff orts on behalf of Siberian Yupik. Th e paper reviews Forshtein’s (and Bogoras’) various contributions to Siberian Yupik language work and language documentation. As it turned out, Forshtein’s, as well as Bogoras’ approach had many fl aws; several colleagues of Forshtein achieved better results and produced alternative writing systems for Siberian Yupik language. Th is review of the early Russian language work on Siberian Yupik is given against the backdrop of many colorful personalities involved and of the general conditions of Russian Siberian linguistics during the 1920s and the 1930s.

Dweik, Tiba A. Al-Obaidi Middle East University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of English Language and Literature [email protected] Middle East University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of English Language and Literature [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the language situation among the Chaldo-Assyrians in Baghdad. The study attempted to answer the following questions: In what domains do the Chaldo-Assyrians of Baghdad use Syriac and Arabic? What are their attitudes towards both languages? To achieve the goal of this study, the researchers selected a sample that consisted of (135) Chaldo-Assyrians of different age, gender and educational background. The instruments used in this study were interviews and a questionnaire which comprised two different areas: domains of language use and language attitudes. The researchers concluded that the Chaldo-Assyrians in Baghdad used Syriac in different domains mainly at home, in religious settings and in their inner speech; and used it side by side with Arabic in many other social domains such as neighborhood, place of work, media and other public places. The study revealed that the attitudes of the Chaldo- Assyrians towards Syriac and Arabic were highly positive. Finally, the researchers recommended conducting similar studies on other ethnic groups in Baghdad like Turkumans, Kurds, Armenians and Sabians.

Jacobson Préserver la langue et les savoirs Article abstract Preserving language and knowledge Naukan is a Yupik Eskimo language spoken now by only a few people on the Volume 29, Number 1-2, 2005 Russian side of the Bering Strait, but with strong Alaskan affinities. Naukan speaker Dobrieva of Lavrentiya, linguist Golovko of St. Petersburg, and URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/013937ar linguists Jacobson and Krauss of Fairbanks have compiled a Naukan dictionary DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/013937ar in two parallel volumes: Naukan in a latin-letter orthography to English, and Naukan in the modified Cyrillic alphabet used for Chukotkan Eskimo languages to Russian. It was both appropriate and beneficial that this project See table of contents involved people from Alaska, European Russia, and Chukotka. The dictionary was recently published by the Alaska Native Language Center of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Naukan dictionary in two parallel volumes can serve Publisher(s) as a model for a new dictionary of (Central) Siberian Yupik, a language spoken, at least ancestrally, by roughly equal numbers on St. Lawrence Island Alaska Association Inuksiutiit Katimajiit Inc. and in the New Chaplino-Sirenik area of Chukotka, Russia. Such a dictionary Centre interuniversitaire d'études et de recherches autochtones (CIÉRA) could help to reinvigorate that language and allow it better to serve as a bridge between the two halves of a single people and culture divided only in recent ISSN decades by a boundary not of their own making.

To search specific areas or villages see indexes and information below. Alaska Native Villages by Name A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Alaska is home to 229 federally recognized Alaska Native Villages located across a wide geographic area, whose records are as diverse as the people themselves. Customs, culture, artwork, and native language often differ dramatically from one community to another. Some are nestled within large communities while others are small and remote. Some are urbanized while others practice subsistence living. Still, there are fundamental relationships that have endured for thousands of years. One approach to understanding links between Alaska Native communities is to group them by language. This helps the student or researcher to locate related communities in a way not possible by other means. It also helps to define geographic areas in the huge expanse that is Alaska.

Inuit and their Chukchi neighbors have always been highly mobile, but the imposition of three international borders in the region constrained travel, trade, hunting, and resource stewardship among neighboring groups. Colonization, assimilation, and enforcement of national laws further separated those even from the same family. In recent decades, Inuit and Chukchi have re-established many ties across those boundaries, making it easier to travel and trade with one another and to create new institutions of environmental management. To introduce Indigenous perspectives into the discussion of transboundary maritime water connections in the Arctic, this paper presents personal descriptions of what those connections mean to people who live and work along and across each of the national frontiers within the region: Russia–U.S., U.S.–Canada, and Canada–Greenland.

As this overview cannot hope to be exhaustive, the main goal is to sketch the different kinds of language contact situation known for this region. Within this larger scope of contact among the languages spoken in Siberia, a major focus will be on the influence exerted by Evenki, a Northern Tungusic language, on neighboring indigenous languages. The chapter is organized as follows: after a brief introduction to the languages and peoples of Siberia (section 1), the influence exerted on the indigenous languages by Russian, the dominant language in the Russian Federation, is described in section 2.

Thank you to the editors and special edition editors of these journals. Many people have guided and supported me throughout my dissertation process, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to recognize them. I am grateful to my committee, exemplary scholars who challenge me to deeply engage and critically think through my project. My advisors Erika Lee and Jigna Desai have been everything I could ask for and more, both phenomenal academics who motivate me to be a better scholar, teacher, parent, and community member. Erika is a formidable historian who has provided me with invaluable training, always asking the important “why?” of my research and project, especially my contributions to Asian American studies. Erika encourages me to “embrace my inner historian,” and I would like to state for the record that she inspires me time and time again to research and write important, compelling, and creative historical narratives.
