We all live in one country, in a land we love. This is our home. We speak different languages. The stories our parents told us and the wisdom of our ancestors make us who we are. As long as our languages live, our understanding of the world and our tradition will live on. The Arctic is our home. Welcome!
Children of the Arctic portal gives you a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the northerners and hear them speak their mother tongues!
Koryaks, Itelmens, Evens, Dolgans, Nganasans, Enets, Chukchi, Inuit, Evenki, Yukaghirs, Nenets, Selkups, Khanty, Sami and Veps will tell you about themselves and their native land and give you video lessons in their languages. Come join in! This is how we can keep the multilingual voice of the Arctic sounding. This means it will have a future.
