ABSTRACT OPP-9400929 KINGSTON The overall goal of this anthropological research is to understand the resilience of the King Island Inupiat as a distinct indigenous community in Alaska. Although different acculturative processes have led the King Islanders to move from their Bering Strait Island, a strong sense of community and identity still exists and is particularly expressed by music and dance traditions. These traditions are a repository of King Island history and life. Archival film footage and oral history accounts will be used in structured meetings with Native Elders in order to record and reclaim this Alaska Native heritage. This study contributes to the development of anthropological theory with reference to both the scientific use of film archives, and understanding mediums of cultural continuity and change. ??

这项人类学研究的总体目标是了解国王岛因纽特人作为阿拉斯加一个独特的土著社区的恢复能力。虽然不同的文化融合过程导致国王岛居民从白令海峡岛迁移，但强烈的社区意识和身份认同感仍然存在，特别是通过音乐和舞蹈传统来表达。这些传统是国王岛历史和生活的宝库。档案电影片段和口述历史将用于与土著长老的结构化会议，以记录和收回阿拉斯加土著遗产。这项研究有助于人类学理论的发展，既可以参考电影档案的科学利用，也可以理解文化延续和变化的媒介。?？
