ANCHORAGE — And now an Inupiaq language lesson.

Qaqasauraq. Noun. The modern Inupiaq term for a computer. Loosely

computer programs designed to teach variations of the fading Alaska Native
language.

program this spring specially designed to teach the North Slope Inupiaq
dialect, using photos and voices of Inupiaq people recorded in Barrow.
