The songs and dances of the St. Lawrence Island Yupik record events, celebrations, activities, environmental conditions, and more in the history of the island and its communities. Available recordings are on obsolete media and are aging and susceptible to loss and damage, which would be an irreparable harm to the region's and the nation's cultural heritage. This project will prepare a digital archive of recordings of songs and dances of the St. Lawrence Island Yupik of Savoonga, Alaska, allowing for future research on the sociocultural and ethnomusicological history of this Arctic Indigenous community. In addition, sharing the results in a book will make more people aware of this rich heritage and will help the people of St. Lawrence Island better appreciate their own history and music. This will also encourage them to sustain these practices and their meaning even as their society continues to adjust and adapt in today's world.The recordings are in danger of being physically lost though damage or accidental disposal, and the information about the recordings exists at present only in the memory of one Elder. Having this record available for the future opens countless possibilities for cultural perpetuation and scholarly research. The recordings, currently on a variety of media, will be converted to digital audio or video files. The archive will be fully annotated and curated to the highest standards of data management, respecting the intellectual property of Indigenous peoples. The archive will be available publicly, with some restrictions for sensitive information and data ownership. In addition, the findings of this project will lead to a book about the recordings, the significance of music and dance for the St. Lawrence Island Yupik, and the procedures involved in creating a permanent archive for the benefit of the people of Savoonga and the nation as a whole.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

圣劳伦斯岛Yupik唱片纪录，庆祝活动，活动，环境状况等的歌曲和舞蹈在岛上及其社区的历史上。可用的记录是在过时的媒体上，并且正在老化，并且容易受到损失和损害的影响，这将对该地区和国家的文化遗产造成不可弥补的伤害。该项目将准备一个数字档案，记录到阿拉斯加萨沃恩加的圣劳伦斯岛Yupik的歌曲和舞蹈，允许对这个北极土著社区的社会文化和民族音乐学历史进行未来的研究。此外，在书中分享结果将使更多的人意识到这种富裕的遗产，并将帮助圣劳伦斯岛的人们更好地欣赏自己的历史和音乐。这也将鼓励他们维持这些实践及其含义，即使他们的社会继续在当今世界进行调整和适应。录音处于造成物理上丧失的危险，尽管损害或意外处置是在物理上丢失的，并且目前仅在纪念一名老人时才存在有关录音的信息。拥有此记录可用于未来，为文化永存和学术研究带来了无数的可能性。目前在各种媒体上的录音将转换为数字音频或视频文件。该档案将被充分注释并策划达到数据管理的最高标准，并尊重土著人民的知识产权。该档案将公开提供，并有一些限制敏感信息和数据所有权。此外，该项目的发现将导致一本关于录音的书，音乐和舞蹈对圣劳伦斯岛Yupik的重要性，以及为了使Savoonga和全国人民的利益而创建永久档案的程序所涉及的程序。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估基金会的范围来反映了与基金会的概述，并通过基金会的范围进行了评估和宽广的支持。
