huh?
This paragraph does not have a coherent meaning. I will delete it if it is not revised. Maybe.

The Nunamiut speak English. Their culture is contrasted by strong collectivist and individualist tendencies, both of which are a reflected in their "uncertainty language game". This involves one of five statements as part of a response: "I don't know," "maybe," "probably," I guess," and "might be." Choosing the neutral "maybe" over "yes" or "no" reflects the cultural importance of a collectivist community. It also reflects behavior avoidance of an individual making a false statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.128.90 (talk) 19:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Religion
I changed "religion" in the infobox to "Presbyterianism," from "animism."

While the Iñupiat were historically animist, they were evangelized by Presbyterians on the north and northwest coasts of Alaska, starting in the late 19th Century. (Different denominations were assigned different areas of the state in that era, including the Society of Friends, which was delegated to an area on the Bering seacoast.) The village of Anaktuvuk Pass was founded in 1949, by migrants, some of whom were returning to the mountains from those northern coasts. The Presbyterian church there was founded in 1956. The article notes that the only existing Nunamiut settlement is Anaktuvuk Pass. Therefore, ipso facto, the existing religion is not "animist." There is a volume extensively chronicling the history of the Presbytery in Alaska by now-retired minister Diane O'Connell. Activist (talk) 03:26, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
