Noteworthy elements:
Other notes:The following is the statement on the Kotzebue tribe's website, with regard to their culture and way of life:
"EVERY INUPIAQ IS RESPONSIBLE TO ALL OTHER INUPIAT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF
OUR CULTURAL SPIRIT, AND THE VALUES AND TRADITIONS THROUGH WHICH IT
SURVIVES. THROUGH OUR EXTENDED FAMILY, WE RETAIN, TEACH AND LIVE OUR
INUPIAQ WAY."
This is important in the context of both Willy Goodwin's discussion of his "training" as a hunter and his family's philosophy of generosity, as well in the context of Blanche Rose Lincoln's discussion of subsistence and responsibility to other members of the Kotzebue tribe and other Eskimo tribes that migrated to Kotzebue.
