Iḷisaqativut Open Library
The Iḷisaqativut Open Library is a repository of resources and materials for the Iñupiaq language. Designed to broaden access to resources, the Library also seeks to celebrate the work of our Elders and uplift the efforts of those who have come before. We thank the many Elders and language/educational leaders who have spent decades developing the following dictionaries, grammarbooks, phrasebooks, stories and materials.
