A museum in Alaska is heading up an effort to keep the Alutiiq language from falling out of use.

The Alutiiq Museum is working with Alutiiq elders, tribal governments and Alaska Native corporations to develop a language program. The museum is also developing a dictionary of the language.

Alutiiq, or Alutiq, is the preferred name for Alaska Natives who were misnamed "Aleuts." Some also prefer Sugpiaq.
