Yupik languages - sources?

So I've started to work on my typological sketch of a language but I'm struggling to find good sources. By that I mean I have found a lot of publications through my college database, but it's usually only reviews and short abstracts. Examples: A practical grammar of the central Alaskan Yup'ik Eskimo language A Grammatical Sketch of Siberian Yupik Eskimo

Does anyone know how to access those OR does anyone know of different publications on the topic of Yupik languages (Central, Siberian,... don't care, as long as I have something to write from) that are accessible online?

[TOMT][Yupik Word] A word from the Yupik language (natives from central Alaska) that means "A haunting experience".

This is another long-shot. I spent some time in the Alaskan bush among the Yupik people, and I'm trying to write an anthropological account of some of the things I learned about their culture. In their language, they have a word that essentially translates to "a haunting experience", such as seeing a ghost or encountering the supernatural in an abandoned building.

I'd love to use that word in the essay, but I can't for the life of me recall it or easily find it online. Any chance someone has the knowledge to help?

Migrations of the Inuit and the Aleut into North America

When did the Inuit Aleut migrate into North America. For the longest time, I thought that all people indigenous to the Americas came over a migration some tens of thousands of years ago and later were isolated. I recently learned about the Yupik people, a people group indigenous to Siberia related to the Aleut (linguistically and genetically). This was pretty shocking to me, as I didn't know that there were migrations back out of the Americas so recently that linguistic similarities could be found. One more interesting thing is that certain Tungstic languages have Yupik loanwords. Could anybody explain to me the history of the Inuit and the Aleut and the general consensus in the scientific community?

What are your thoughts on the names for linguistic and cultural groupings that anthropologists use for Native Americans? Are there any common terms you find particularly annoying and would prefer people avoid?

I’m referring to groups like Iroquoian, Muskogean, Siouan, Algonquian, Caddoan, Numic, and so on. I’ve encountered Oceti Sakowin and Haudenosaunee people talking about their dislike of the words β€œSioux” and β€œIroquois”, respectively, so I’d imagine some of that probably carries over to the language families. And I can also see how Pawnee, Wichita, or Arikara people might get annoyed at their language being called β€œCaddoan” when they don’t belong the Caddo Nation.

In addition to terms you dislike, are there any alternatives you’d prefer non-Natives use when describing these linguistic or cultural groupings? I know some peoples in the Arctic have pushed for Inuit-Yupik-Unangan to replace the language family with a slur in its more popular name, but I’m not aware of other proposals if they exist.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
