Unangam
Words Sweatshirt Project

Prepared

I am deeply grateful for the Eastern Aleut Grammar and
lexicon and the forthcoming Aleut Dictionary and these kind
people who have graciously assisted me in preparing this
work: Knut Bergland, Nick Galaktionoff, Moses Dirks, Iliodor
Philemonof, and Michael Krauss of the Alaska Native Language
Center at UAF. Any errors are my own. Since this project
was first prepared to be used in Unalaska, the dialectical
preferences of the people who live there are reflected here.
Many, but not all of the words will be the same in other
places.
