Inupiat Road Sign Translation Project
Description
The Native Village of Kotzebue (NVOK) in Alaska, is committed to promoting and maintaining their heritage. One of the ways to accomplish this is to present road signs around Kotzebue in their traditional language, Inupiat. NVOK worked with the Elder’s Council to develop a translation list for all the road signs within the community. This list was transmitted to Bristol to provide shop drawings and specifications for the signs. The NVOK self-performed the sign procurement and installation process.
