Meet the Yupik Tribe

[Sam]

Welcome to the Yupik Tribe!


Your tribe color is snowy white (#FFFAFA).

The Yupik are an indigenous Eskimo people who live in many parts of Alaska. They were mainly sea hunters who respected and revered the sea. The killer whale, raven and wolf were considered sacred and could not be killed.

Boys were raised in the ena, or the women's communal house until they were five. Then they moved to the men's communal house, known as the qasqig, which was often next door. Each group taught important skills such as sewing, cooking, and weaving for the girls and survival and hunting skills for the boys. Every winter, the young boys and young girls would switch houses and learn the other's crafts. Boys would learn how to cook and sew and girls would learn toolmaking and hunting skills.

You take their namesake.


It's now time to meet your fellow tribemates with whom you will be exploring Asteria...
