- Summary
- "The materials provided here consist of twelve short videos and twelve lessons about St. Lawrence Island Yupik language and culture. Eash is based on an historic cultural heritage object from the collections of the National Museum of Natural History or the National Museum of the American Indian, both part of the Smithsonian Institution. These objects range from hunting tools used for living from the land and sea to ceremonial items used at celebrations and gatherings to everyday clothing. The information shared about them and about life on St. Lawrence Island enables learners to explore the cultural traditions of the Yupik people. The videos are in St. Lawrence Island Yupik with subtitles in English and Yupik, for following along in both languages. A short focused discussion at the end repeats twice, first for following along with just Yupik subtitles and then for listening without any text. Each six-page lesson includes: three pages of materials to review before watching the video; one page with questions to think about and words to listen for during the film; and two post-viewing pages with activities."--Teacher's guide.
