An immersive picture book that follows a modern Iñupiat family as they share their connection to their land, heritage, and history in the Arctic, culminating in Nalukataq, an annual celebration, illustrated by Newbery Honoree Nasugraq Rainey Hopson.
Welcome to Iñupiat Nunat where the Arctic wind gives wings to Iñupiat spirits, the frozen tundra holds the bones of Iñupiat ancestors, and the seal, caribou, polar bear and ducks feed the Iñupiat who in turn honor and respect those lives and spirits.
The year culminates in the summer at the Nalukataq--the great celebration of the whale--where thousands of people come together in gratitude to eat, sing and dance.
Powerfully written and gorgeously illustrated, Welcome to Iñupiat Nunat follows a modern Iñupiat family celebrating the Nalukataq. It's a joyful exploration of environmentalism, arctic Indigenous communities, and the importance of preserving cultural history.
