#NativeNorthAmericaGathering Artist: JOHN ANGAIAK . John Angaiak is a singer-songwriter born in Nightmute, Alaska. He began playing guitar at a young age and learnt the basics before serving in the American Armed Forces. Upon return from service in Vietnam, John enrolled in the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where he became active in Native language preservation as part of the Eskimo Language Workshop. In 1971, he released a full-length album called I’m Lost in the City, which helped to help transform the once oral traditions of the Yup’ik language into a written one. Over the years, John has performed in Alaska and also in Greenland; he is also a painter and author. We are blessed to have John Angaiak with us at the Native North America Gathering.
