The project will document I__upiaq place names and associated descriptions, stories and narratives for all the coastal areas of the Preserve. It will document past and present subsistence practices associated with those places and will aid in understanding changes in subsistence practices. In addition to preserving I__upiaq language through place names, the project will further the understanding of I__upiat peoples___ connection to places associated with the Preserve. It will demonstrate indigenous concepts of ecosystem by highlighting the importance of the interconnections among place names used by I__upiat peoples. Project personnel will interview 4-8 I__upiat elders and culture bearers from Wales in order to collect I__upiaq coastal place names and knowledge, extending the geographical scope of the first Qamani project to include the Tapqaq coast to the village of Wales. They will visit key sites, with 2-3 elders and cultural bearers.
