Iñupiuraaġviit
Since 2017, Iḷisaqativut has held three 2-week long Iñupiaq language intensives, where adult language learners spend two dedicated weeks to learning Iñupiaq, moving beyond words and gaining speaking ability. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Iḷisaqativut Institute was not held in 2020 or 2021, but we are hoping to see it return in 2022. We are providing our curriculum here free of charge, and you are welcome to use it to hold your own Iḷisaqativut Institute.

Iḷisaqativut 2017
As it was our first year of Iḷisaqativut, we do not have a full curriculum to share from that year, but we do have a final report from 2017 that covers much of what we did at Iḷisaqativut Utqiaġviŋmi. You can use this as a template for how to establish your own Iñupiaq institute.
