	Inupiaq [Inupiat] - Alaska Native Cultural Profile
		The Inupiaq language consists of Inuit-Inupiaq families of polysynthetic languages spoken from Siberia [Yup'ik] to Greenland [Inupiaq].
		Further, many Inupiaqs have moved to major urban centers for a college education, warmer climate (arthritis concerns), health care needs, lower cost of living, due to Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971 or the flow of oil moneys into the state.
		Inupiaq values reciprocity, trading partnerships, all are based on what have become known today as subsistence hunting.

	Canku Ota - April 8, 2000 - Gift of the Whale
		In that whale road, the Open Lead, the whales would come to the surface and wait there to be struck by the harpoons of the Inupiaq.
		They would continue to do so every year as long as the Inupiaq showed respect to the Bowhead, as long as the Inupiaq took only what they needed in order to survive.
		During the hunt, the hunter shows respect for the whale by asking it to forgive him for causing it pain and asking it to understand that the whale is needed so that the Inupiaq can live.
