Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.

I feel like we do share a lot in common culturally, but I'd also say we identify strongly as Alaskans first and Americans second, since we get an impression of extreme ignorance about Alaska ^see igloo based inquiries above. A lot of things I see on TV or in movies I couldn't relate to but we definitely have strong cultural ties and are greatly influenced by music and fashion down there. Much more so in the cities of course but I have heard Native rappers singing in their tribal languages.


How well do the native Alaskan languages hold up with rap? I've heard some Lakota raps, and well...mad props to the artists, because Lakota (or really, anything non indo-european) is not a language designed for rap. What language family are the native alaskan languages in, for that matter? I imagine they're closer to native russian languages than lower-48 native languages.
