Overview

This book documents a decade of life and language use in a remote Alaskan Yup'ik community. It illuminates how schooling and migration shape complex linguistic ecologies; how youths broker sociolinguistic transformation; and how Indigenous peoples' wide-ranging forms of linguistic survivance sustain unique lifeways in an interconnected world.
