Kaugya’angum Qawangurtuwa? is the story of a small fox and his funny dream, told in the Indigenous Alutiiq language of Alaska.
The Alutiiq Museum and Native Village of Afognak have released a bi-lingual app version of the Alutiiq language children’s book Kaugya’angum Qawangurtuwa? Written and narrated by April Isiik Counceller with assistance from Kodiak Elders, and illustrated by Mary Ruskovich, Kaugya’angum Qawangurtuwa? is the story of a small fox and his funny dream.
You will be amazed at how these wonderful children's stories come to life in Alutiiq and English languages. 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 fun while they do it.
The App is narrated in the Alutiiq language as spoken on Afognak and Kodiak Islands, Alaska, with an English option.
