The Yup'ik people of southwestern Alaska were some of the last Arctic peoples to come into contact with non-Natives, and as a result, Yup'ik language and many traditions remain vital into the twenty-first century. This work documents their qanruyutet (adages, words of wisdom, and oral instructions) regarding the proper living of life.
