In Alaska, the Native American Literatures
are those of the Aleut
or Unangan, the Alutiiq,
the Athabaskan,
the Eskimo or Inuit (Alutiiq, Central Yupik, Siberian Yupik, and
Inupiaq), the Haida, the Tlingit, the Eyak, and the Tsimshian. In
Canada and Greenland they are those of the Athabaskan, the
Algonquian, the Eskimo or Inuit, and the Sioux. Literatures have both
been passed down orally from generation to generation and are being
created by contemporary Alaska
Native writers.
Gaining an understanding of the languages and cultures of these peoples is helpful in understanding their stories.
