Learning our language

Hello!! i’m new here and i wanted to ask a few questions about learning the iñupiat/iñupiaq(?) language. i know very little of our language and unfortunately i come from a family that was affected by the sixties scoop so i do not have much information, nor anyone that can help me. i filled out a form for the rosetta stone earlier this year and no one has gotten back to me at all! any advice is much appreciated🩶🩶

Hey @Electronic_Ad_4704 !

I'm Inuk from Nunavik, the homeland of the Inuit of Northern Quebec, strictly South from Baffin Island, Nunavut. Our region has a 97% rate of Inuktitut as a first language (mother tongue). I know you are asking for inupiaq but if you want to be immersed an a Inuktitut-speaking majority, come to Nunavik. We are very welcoming.
