My maqivik is the bomb dot com. Yup’ik maqivik are usually shorter, the wood stove is on the ground and you sit on the floor and splash water. But I grew up taking steams like this and my maqivik is the exact replicas of mine growing up.
Maqivik is a steam bath aka sauna in kassaq terms

·2022-10-2If you are an OTNC tribal member, I urge you to attend Saturday’s informational meeting about the 19 proposed amendments. This meeting is critical for the future of our tribe. There are over 4,000 of us tribal members living outside of Bethel who are unable to attend because there’s no option for teleconference or Zoom. This is heartbreaking because, according to our constitution, all members have an equal right to the resources of the tribe. Please, if you are able to attend, let your voice be heard—not just for yourself, but for all of us who can’t be there. Our future generations are depending on us. I’m deeply concerned, and I’m nervous about what this could mean for our tribe moving forward. Together, we need to stand for transparency, inclusion, and our shared values. Quyana for showing up. Let’s protect our future." 🪶💬 #OTNC #TribalVoicesMatter #NativeRights #TransparencyMatters #FutureGenerations #YupikValues #fyp #fypシ #fypage #fypシ゚viral #viralvideo #viraltiktok #indigenous #sewyupik #indigenoustiktok #protectourchildren

·5d ago I watched this video on how to size pants by wrapping the waist around your neck and they’ll fit. I should have got pants that were a little bigger when I wrapped them around my neck cause after the wash they shrunk a little 😂 For these 5 pants I got them from @valuevillage_thrift for $48. Out of the 5 trousers 4 of them fit me good. But now I know I will make sure they’re a little bit roomier cause washing shrinks a little 😂 Go head try it! #sewyupik #yupik #thrift #thrifting #thriftingfinds #thriftingtips #thrifter #fyp #fypシ #thrifty #thriftfinds #thriftshopping #thriftedfashion #thrifthaul #sharing #sharingiscaring #sharingalaska #alaska #alaskalife #alaskaliving #nativetiktok

·6d ago Waqaa, everyone, I’ve been at a loss for words and need to share my thoughts as an OTNC tribal citizen. In the OTNC Constitution, Section 1 states that all members of the Orutsararmiut Native Tribe shall have an equal right to share in the resources of the tribe. Additionally, Ordinance 96-2, Section 5 states that inactive members will be permitted to vote in local matters that come up for a vote. As inactive members—those of us who live outside of Bethel—we should have a vote on these 19 proposed amendments. This is about fairness, representation, and transparency. I encourage you to use your voice and reach out to the tribe to request clarification and demand transparency. We all have a role in protecting our future and upholding our Yup’ik values. Together, we can make sure our voices are heard.

·1-14What legacy do you want to leave behind? Are your actions safeguarding the future of our generations, or are they creating more challenges for them? In everything I do, I think of my children, grandchildren, and the youth—our hope for the future. As Yup’ik people, our strength lies in unity, in upholding the values and ways of life that have been passed down to us for generations. We must honor our ancestors by protecting what they preserved for us and ensuring that our traditions, culture, and land remain strong for those who come after us. Together, we can secure a brighter future for our people. #sewyupik #yupik #fyp #indigenous #indigenouspeople #sharingalaska #alaska #alaskan #alaskalife #alaskaliving #alaskanative #sharingiscaring #futuregenerations #nativetiktok

·1-10Blood quantum perpetuates colonial constructs that were never part of our Yup’ik cultural values. It is a tool of division, imposed by systems that sought to erase Indigenous identity and sever us from our heritage. Blood quantum was not created by our people—it was weaponized against us. To see it perpetuated within our own communities is heartbreaking. It is a form of cultural genocide, and its acceptance threatens the strength and inclusivity of our future generations. We must stand firm in honoring our traditional values and embrace all who carry our lineage, regardless of percentages. Use your voice to protect our future generations ❤️ #sewyupik #yupik #fyp #fypシ #native #alaskanative #alaskan #alaskalife #alaska #alaskaliving #alaskalove #sharing #sharingiscaring #sharingalaska #useyourvoice #futuregeneration #futuregenerations #protectourfuture #nativetiktok

·1-9Waqaa all! I just wanted to share some updates if you have been following my page. I was shocked to hear that roughly 1035 eligible tribal members decide for 8000 enrolled tribal members. That was alarming and I will still be using my voice to push for all voters and for at least one at large seat if not two. If there are 4000 tribal members who reside outside of the community we deserve representation and to be included ❤️ The next OTNC tribal meeting is February 12th at 5:30pm please attend and use your voice ❤️ We must unite together for our future generations #sewyupik #fyp #yupik #indigenous #sharing #sharingalaska #alaska #alaskalife #alaskaliving #alaskan #alaskanative #tribal #tribalgovernment #government #useyourvoice #youmatter #indigenouspeople #indigenousrights #indigenousculture #nativetiktok
