Sivunniigvik,
literally translated means "the planning place." The children of the NANA region
have come to know Camp Sivu as the place they gather in the summer to learn more
about their culture, themselves, and their communities. This web page is dedicated
to sharing the mission, the experiences, and most of all, what Sivunniigvik means
to the people and communities of the NANA region. Use the buttons above or the
text links below to explore our web page and find out what Camp Sivu is all about.
The
summer programs of Sivunniigvik are one facet of a multi-faceted
Inupiat Ilitqusiat PROGRAM in the NANA region to instill
in the minds and character of our youth our traditional Inupiaq
Values. These values are universal and, when learned, can instill
in each individual self-confidence and self-respect as well
as respect for others, animal life, and nature.
