Inupiat Ilitqusiat is a guiding philosophy that reminds people of basic Inupiaq values and helps them lead a positive, healthy lifestyle. The Robert Aqqaluk Newlin, Sr. Memorial Trust supports projects that are based on the following Inupiat Ilitqusiat philosophy.

Every Inupiaq is responsible to all other Inupiat for the survival of our culture spirit, and the values and traditions through which it survives. Through our extended family, we retain, teach and live our Inupiaq way.

 With guidance and support from Elders, we must teach our children Inupiaq values:

Knowledge of Language Sharing Respect for Others Cooperation Respect for Elders Love for Children Hard Work Knowledge of Family Tree Avoid Conflict Respect for Nature Spirituality Humor Family Roles Hunter Success Domestic Skills Humility Responsibility to Tribe

Our understanding of our universe and our place in it
is a belief in God and a respect for all His creation.
