The Dance Festivals of the Alaskan Eskimo

Note 11 — THE KÁSGI OR DANCE HOUSE

Reading edition

These are the northern names. In the southern or Yukon dialect black is Túnguli; white Katughúli; red, Kauigúli; green, Tcunungúli.

The endings and pronunciation of similar Eskimo words are somewhat different in Arctic Alaska and on the Yukon River; sufficiently so as to produce two distinct dialects. For this reason I have given the forms from both sections.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
