Reading through this article, my eyebrows shot up into space when I came across "The Alaskan Yupik and Inupiat are the only Northern indigenous peoples to have developed their own system of hieroglyphics, but this system died with its creators." I looked at the citation link, which appears to be a Canadian government website, and it didn't actually name the script nor show any pictures, only staking a similar single-sentence that "[Eskimo-Aleut speaking] Alaskans were the only peoples to develop their own picture writing, but this system eventually disappeared with its inventors." Does this mean that a writing system was devised by someone but did not catch on with the wider populace? Was it widely used in the past but fell out of use prior to European contact? The sentence and the citation are infuriatingly vague for something that appears so historically noteworthy!
Checking the WP article for Yupik languages, the segment on Writing Systems doesn't mention Alaskan heiroglyphs at all, instead stating "The Yupik languages were not written until the arrival of Europeans around the beginning of the 19th century." I'll bring this up on the talk page there as well. In the meantime, are there any photos or publications available online that give a little more evidence and/or information on this writing system? Museums, Anthropologists, Universities, Native Associations?

To the person who tagged the use of the word "Agnguaq" in the infobox photo caption for clarification: The word can be found in a couple of reliable sources, this: "dance"; this: "dance", also given in other inflected forms scattered through this language teaching workbook; and this: "The term agnguaq is applied to any non-Eskimo dance style, such as reel, square, round, line, jitterbug, or rock dance." In other words, it doesn't refer to the apparel, so you're correct, the caption is wrong. I'm going to remove the use of the term, which isn't even found in the image's own description, nor on the external page to which the image is sourced.

The current article is rather confusing since it specifies:
"This article is about Yupik peoples. For the people of southwestern Alaska, see
Yup'ik people."
AND
"Yupik peoples include the following: ...
Central Alaskan Yup'ik people of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, the Kuskokwim River, ..."
This implies that there is some difference between the
Yup'ik people and the
Central Alaskan Yup'ik people articles, but they in fact both redirect to the same article:
Yup'ik. This makes no sense.
I propose:
Surely this would provide better clarity. No?

Aniola, your activity on this article appears to reflect the belief that only one notable Yupik person exists in the entire world, which is total horseshit. I get it that you're reacting to yesterday's headlines like many others do on this site, but all this does is enforce the notion that we're here to be a news site (see WP:NOTNEWS). If you wish to put together a section which is balanced and in line with a comprehensive information resource, instead of something intended simply to puff up one person because of fleeting attention from the news media, I'll quit reverting it.
