Nunivak Island Genealogy
The genealogical information of Nunivak Island, dating back to the early 1800s, was primarily gathered from the book Eskimo Childhood and Interpersonal Relationships written by Margaret Lantis. Lantis took three expeditions to Nunivak Island, the first one dating at the start of World War II, 19391940, in which she spent her time getting acquainted and gaining trust with people of Nunivak. After the war, she visited the island again for four months in the summer and fall of 1946 to gather information on social and economic changes and gathering of autobiographies. The last visit was 19551956 to record the genealogies of Nunivak Island. All the Cupig names were recorded in Lantiss phonetic style. In the years between 19941995 the discovery of Lantiss work was an enabler to translate all of Lantiss Cupig writing style names in the key to genealogies to the present style of Cupig writing.
