Yup’ik Atlas: Mapping Our Stories and Place Names

Over the past decade, CEC has worked with Elders and communities to document Yup’ik place names and stories across the Bering Sea coast and Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta. The Yup’ik Atlas now holds thousands of named places—camp and settlement sites, rivers, sloughs, rocks, ponds, sandbars, and underwater channels—along with the histories, teachings, and memories connected to them.
