Incredible article about Russian colonialism in Alaska. It gets pretty graphic in its descriptions of Russian slaughter of the Aleut population, though, so be wary reading it.

Last Native Speaker Of Aleut Language In Russia Dies
Tumblr media
Vera Timoshenko (left) and Gennady Yakovlev were experts on the Aleut language, culture, and history.
The last native speaker of the Aleut language in Russia, Gennady Yakovlev, has died at the age of 86 in Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka region.
The chairwoman of the regional council of the Aleut district of the Kamchatka region, Galina Korolyova, said on October 5 that Yakovlev died in his native village of Nikolskoye on Bering Island.
Korolyov also spoke the so-called Medny dialect of Aleut.
Until recently there were only two known native speakers of the Aleut language in Russia -- Yakovlev and Vera Timoshenko. Timoshenko, who spoke the so-called Bering dialect of the Aleut language, died in March 2021 at the age of 93.
Yakovlev and Timoshenko were experts on the Aleut language, culture, and history who actively consulted Russian and foreign researchers and linguists.
Aleut, the sole language in the Aleut branch of the Eskimo-Aleut linguistic stem, used to be widely spoken by indigenous people of the Aleutian Islands, Pribilof Islands, Commander Islands, and the Alaskan Peninsula.
According to experts, there are fewer than 100 to 150 remaining active Aleut speakers.

Isn't it always fun to read about your people's habitat?
I should make a little informational post about the Irish. They were Europeans. They had pale hair, skin, and eyes, which developed as an adaptation to the lack of vitamin D. They dressed in kilts and danced the flamenco.
I keep reading about Natives and feeling like a ghost.

Aleut Language Profile - 3 Endangered Languages Per Week
Where is the Aleut language spoken?
The Aleut language (Aleut: Unangam Tunuu, Унаӈам тунуу) is indigenous to Alaska by the Aleut people. Here are pictures of where in Alaska the languages are spoken, courtesy of wikipedia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On a global scale, this means that Aleut is spoken in a part of the USA, a smaller part of Russia and an even smaller part of Canada.
Dialects
Today, the general consensus is that there are two groups of Aleutian dialects that remain: Eastern Aleut, Atka Aleut (spoken on the islands of Atka and Bering). There is also the extinct dialect of Western Aleut. Speakers of all surviving dialects can understand eachother.
Writing system
There are two alphabets used for Aleut: 1) a variation of the Cyrillic Alphabet and 2) a variation of the Roman alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet is primarily used in the Bering dialect of the Atka Aleut dialect group, which can be attributed to its' proximity to Russia and that it is the dialect with the most Russian loanwords.
Tumblr media
Conservation Status
Aleut has been certified by UNESCO as a Critically Endangered Language. There are only 100-150 people left who actively speak the language in their daily lives

a lot of people are using nex as a queer talking point without even mentioning they were choctaw and 2S. without even mentioning that this - harassment, assault, murder, disappearances, lies/indifference/denial about the circumstances of our death - is typical of the violence we face. not once have i seen non-native people address that we, as natives, face this same treatment within queer communities. that queer institutions use our land while declining to offer native-inclusive and -sensitive care. we suffer at the hands of white lgbt+ people just as much as we do at the hands of people outside the community.
nex is not your NB pariah. nex was a 2S, NB, choctaw child. thousands of native people go missing and are killed and no one cares. many are two-spirit. many are LGBTQIA+. many are "queer" in ways only defined and recognised by our closed cultures, that you may never hear of and may never understand.
if you are going to flock to nex, you are not going to take them from us post-mortem. they were choctaw. they were native. their tribal affiliation has already been falsely reported on. if you are talking about nex, you will talk about how unwelcoming and dangerous your communities are for us, too. you will talk about how natives face this violence constantly, everywhere. you will not remove nex from the context of them being choctaw, ever - or you won't say their name at all.
even when we die, you don't care about us. i am telling you to care about us if you want us to stop dying.

Fat Bear Week 2022
It’s time once again for Fat Bear Week! Fat Bear Week is the delightful celebration of rotund brown bears at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. The bears awaken from hibernation in the spring and spend the summer preparing to hibernate again, getting as fat as possible before winter comes. By late summer/early fall, the bears are at their fattest! During Fat Bear Week, people can vote for their favorite fat bear in a face-off against other fat bears. 
The book we’re opening Fat Bear Week with this year is Goldilocksaaq Pingayun-Ilu Taqukaat, a translation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Paschal Afcan in an Eskimo-Aleut language, with illustrations by Cathi Hankinson. The book was published in 1971 for the Eskimo Language Workshop of the Department of Linguistics and Foreign Languages at the University of Alaska for the Bilingual Education Program of the Alaska Rural School Project. It’s likely that the language is Yup’ik, as Paschal Afcan has written or translated many other books in the language, but please correct me if I’m wrong! 
We’re focusing on just the bears from the book and leaving out that colonizer, Goldilocks. The most relevant images from the book for Fat Bear Week are Mother Bear making the porridge, Baby Bear looking hungrily at it, and then Baby Bear crying a single tear when he realizes that Goldilocks has eaten all of his porridge. How dare she deny a hungry bear his porridge! Doesn’t she know he needs it to get fat for winter?! 
Voting is now open for Fat Bear Week, so get out there and vote for those fat bears!
