The I upiat Heritage Center is a museum in Barrow, Alaska Barrow in the U.S. state of Alaska . Dedicated in February 1999, it is an affiliated area of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park in New Bedford, Massachusetts , and recognizes the contributions of Alaska Natives to the history of whaling . It houses exhibits, artifact collections, a library, a gift shop, and a traditional room where traditional crafts are demonstrated and taught. The North Slope Borough, Alaska North Slope Borough owns and manages the Heritage Center on behalf of the whaling villages of the Alaska North Slope North Slope . The Heritage Center is one of several associated partners that participate in telling the story of commercial whaling in the United States. Park partners operate independently but collaborate in a variety of educational and interpretive programs. History In the late 19th and 20th centuries, over 2,000 whaling voyages set out from New Bedford, bound for the Bowhead whale bowhead whaling grounds off Alaska s Arctic Ocean Arctic coast. The voyage of over 20,000 miles took the whalers to the Azores Azore islands off the coast of Africa , around Cape Horn and the southernmost tip of South America , to the Hawaiian Islands , and finally to the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean . Many Alaska Natives, particularly Inupiat people Inupiat Eskimo people, participated in commercial whaling. In addition to crewing on the ships they hunted for food for the whalers, provided warm fur clothing, and sheltered many crews that were shipwrecked on the Alaska coast.

The complete Bible has been translated into two of the dialects of Inupiat language Greenland and Labrador . The New Testament and portions have been translated into others. Greenland Dialect The Norwegian missionaries, Hans Egede Hans and Paul Egede , were the first to translate any part of the Bible into the Inuit language . Their version of the New Testament in the Greenlandic was printed in part in 1744, and as a whole in 1766. A revision of this translation, by Otto Fabricius, was twice printed before the close of the 18th century and in 1822 the Moravian Brethren brought out a new translation, which ran through several editions. Nearly three quarters of the Old Testament was printed in the same language from 1822. It took 150 years to complete the whole Bible, but it was eventually done prior to 1902 . The Danish Bible Society translated the whole Bible into a modern Greenlandic dialect, which was completed in 1999. Labrador Dialect In the Labrador dialect the earliest printed Bible text was the Harmony of the Gospels, which appeared in 1800. This was followed by the Gospel of St. John in 1810, the complete New Testament in 1840, and all of the Old Testament between 1834 and 1867. In Labrador Eskimo some New Testament extracts in 1878 and the Four Gospels in 1897, translated by E. J. Peck.

The supplies were offloaded from ocean boats onto barges, which were towed to their destinations. A post office and store were opened at Mary s Igloo in 1901.

At one time before about 1900, there had been a large whaling village on Barter Island. Tradition has it that the Alaska Inupiat drove the villagers, Canadian Inupiat, from the island in about 1900. In about 1919, trader Tom Gordon and his wife, Mary Agiaq Gordon, moved from Barrow, Alaska Barrow to Barter Island with their family, some relatives, friends, and their families. Mary s younger brother, Andrew Akootchook, helped to choose the location for the trading post , because of its good harbor and convenient and accessible location for hunting on land and sea. Tom Gordon and the settlers built a trading post at the site and a few families settled near Gordon s trading post. In 1953 and 1954, a runway and Distant Early Warning Line radar station were built on the island. Several families settled near the runway and the area around the runway was incorporated in 1971 as the City of Kaktovik, Alaska Kaktovik .
