Wise Words of the Yupik People documents their qanruyutait(adages, words of wisdom, and oral instructions) regarding the proper living of life. Throughout history these distinctive adages have guided the relations between men and women, parents and children, siblings and cousins, fellow villagers, visitors, strangers, and non-Natives. Yupik elders have chosen to share these adages during Calista Elders Council gatherings and conventions since 1998 because of their continued relevance and power to change lives. The Calista Elders Council (now Calista Education and Culture) recently spearheaded efforts at cultural revitalization through gatherings with younger community members. By describing the content of traditional instruction as well as its central motivationWe talk to you because we love youelders not only educate Yupik young people but also open a window into their view of the world for all of us. A new introduction explores this books impact over the past decade.Wise Words of the Yupik People will continue to serve as a valuable resource for the Yupik people and those who wish to learn more about their lives and values.
