How The Yupik Drum Came to Be - Interview with Yaari Walker, Yupik People, Western Alaska

Whilst paddling along the Yukon River I had the honour to sit and speak with people of the Northern Shoshone, Tlingit and the Yupik whom live across this vast wilderness and watershed. The long conversations we had were about traditions, heritage and what it means to be human in one of the remotest locations on earth. This is one of those conversations.

Please consider speaking your words in the form of a book. Many of us who are of Yu'pik descent have not grown up with elders who passed down their beautiful teachings to us. Such a book would be cherished and shared with family.
