The Alutiiq Museum and Native Village of Afognak have released an app version of the Alutiiq language children’s book Ikuwitii, an Alutiiq legend about the golden crown sparrow.
Ikuwitii is a John (JP) Pestrikoff story written by Kathy Nelson and illustrated by the Port Lions 2012-2013 students.
You will be amazed at how these wonderful children’s stories come to life with this interactive bi-lingual app. Children love being able to run their fingers over the text to hear the story and touch any word to hear it said or spelt. They will happily spend hours coloring in the book and they can record themselves as well.
It’s great fun for kids of all ages and it helps with early learning and literacy development. They can even explore other languages and have loads of fun while they do it.
