Ellalluquuyuk, The Slave Girl: Lessons Learned from Yup ik Eskimo Elders (Math in a Cultural Context:Lessons Learned from Yup'ik Eskimo Elders) (Yupik Languages Edition)

Set during a time of intertribal strife known as the Yup’ik wars, Slave Girl follows the story of Ellalluquuyuk, a young woman captured by rival warriors and forced into slavery. However, it isn’t until she makes her escape that her troubles really begin, as she must fend for herself in an unforgiving environment as she makes her way back home.. Slave Girl, told by revered Yup’ik Elder and storyteller Annie Blue, can be integrated into two Math in a Cultural Context (MCC) modules: Patterns and Parkas and Designing Patterns. These two MCC modules stress the mathematics behind the construction and design of Yup’ik symbols that adorn parkas and other clothing.
