OT:Hallelujah Chorus Eskimo Style

Hi

Several from RCTQ and friends and families have sent this my way. Another version of the Hallelujah chorus with the words on signs. This one was filmed in the village of Quinhagak, Alaska, a small eskimo village about 450 miles from Anchorage in a westerly direction and a bit south. The main village in the area is Bethel which has a somewhat large population of 4,000 and an airport which can handle jets. I've flown through there many times when I lived in the village. Just to give you some fun that we have, try to pronounce these villages in the area. Nunapitchuk, Tuntutuliak, Kongiganak, Kwigillingok, Napakiak, Napaskiak, Kwethluk, Akachiak, Akiak. A lot of Ks and Gs in the language with lots of guttural and glottal stop sounds. A very back of the throat sounding language.

Anyway, here is the link. If nothing else, watch it for the diversity of the people, the ease with which they smile and the housing and other "amenities" which show up. I really like the shots of the store. It reminds me of my time out there.

Enjoy.

I enjoyed the smiles and the sight-seeing and, of course, the music. Had to watch it twice. Can you just imagine the brain-storming sessions that came before? Polly

Really enjoyed it - everyone looked so happy.

The worrying thing about the apostrophes was that the filming was obviously organized by a school, and 'Teqcher' had made the cards. Perhaps he is now feeling very embarrassed that his mistakes have been seen world-wide.

Reminds me of when DD, aged 8, wrote an essay about leisure activities and her spelling was corrected to Leasure. The teacher was not known for her friendliness towards DD (to put it mildly), and DD learned that grown-ups make mistakes, and that there are times when it is not to your advantage to point out those mistakes! It was on the first page of a brand new exercise book which really added insult to injury!

She can still spell and after I forwarded the clip to her she > So cute! But what was with those apostrophe s-es? Sort of made me do a > double take.
