"A #NumberSystem Invented by Inuit #Schoolchildren Will Make Its Silicon Valley Debut
#Math is called the “universal language,” but a unique dialect is being reborn
In the remote #Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of #Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “#Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from #SiliconValley, they will soon be available on #smartphones and #computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm."

While the #Alaska #HouseofRepresentatives remains without a majority coalition, Rep. Patkotak (I) an #Iñupiaq from #Utqiagvik is presiding over the House until a leader is elected. He has been in the Speaker Pro Tem role before when the House was in the same position in 2021.

"Amid a weak caribou harvest, one North Slope village flew literally a ton of whale meat to another for Thanksgiving."
This story is a great example of the inspiration we can all take from Inupiaq and other Alaska Native cultures.
I'll always cherish the time I spent working in Chevak, a Cup’ik village in Western Alaska. I learned a lot, and left with a better and broader perspective on life.
