This book presents stories, traditional tales, and qanruyutet (oral instructions) shared by elders from throughout southwest Alaska as part of the Yuuyaraq curriculum project. In what they say, elders provide a window into a uniquely Yup'ik view of how the world works and what it means to be a real person. And they have done so with their young people firmly in mind. Yuuyaraq embodies a way of life in which sharing is central -- sharing of food, of stories, of knowledge. Our hope is that this book carries this message forward, to audiences of all ages.
