The village I worked in was on the dividing line of the Inupiak and Yupik people, they sort of get along, but they are culturally different.
I read Gussuk is a corruption of Cossak.

The Russians once ruled this land.
My wife is even Russian Othodox.

I have an Inupiaq dictionary on my phone.

I forgot to say good morning @TopShelfTrees1 and gang.
I’m running slow today.
I’ve got a bit of a hangover from too many brewski’s

It’s good to be home.
Yesterday, I completed a 40 hour scaffold erector certification in Anchorage to stay up to date on my unions journeyman skill upgrade requirements.

Good morning to you too! It’s ok we’re all allowed to overindulge once in a while, alcohol and me are a bad mix anymore, but I still enjoy a drink or two in moderation. Congrats and respect on completing the course :facepunch:t2:
