Inu-Yupiaq

[3] Native dance is a part of the Inupiaq culture,[4] And "song duels" were a traditional part of the cultures of the Inupiaq and the St. Lawrence Island Yupik People of north and northwestern Alaska.

These drums can be made with wood, ivory, antler, a sea mammal's stomach or bladder, parachute material, or non-rip nylon.

Iñupiaq and Yup’ik Eskimo songs and dancers are similar, but have their differences.

Some Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni, Akuli, and Pamyua.

Also, shorter Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni and Pamyua.
