Elder Voices: Robert Iyatunguk


Robert Iyatunguk was born in Shishmaref and moved as a young man to Deering with his parents and younger siblings. Robert shares his story from the KNOM archive this week on Elder Voices.

“We tell our stories so that generations to come can also remember the way it was and the value of our people.”

Elder Voices: a window to the past, a door to the future.
