Maniilaq

Now with Audio

Maniilaq is written in Inupiaq and English.

Maniilaq is the name of a man that is held in very high regard by the older Iñupiat Eskimos of the Northwest Arctic. He was more commonly known as Maniilauraq, and to some of the elders in the area, he was an Eskimo prophet. They speak of him with reverence and admiration. Many believe him and in the fulfillment of his prophecies in this day and age.

This book presents the information which the Center has on Maniilaq transcribed and translated exactly as the elders have given it. There has been no attempt made to edit any of the discussions as many of the contributors have passed away. The materials are presented here for you, the reader, to read and reach your own conclusions about Maniilaq. You will find the accounts to be repetitious, but as you read each variant of Maniilaq's activities and teachings, you will acquire new information which will add to your knowledge of the whole subject.

Alaska Natives were legally prevented from establishing mining claims under the terms of the mining act.
