"Journey Through the Heliosphere: The Sun-Earth System in Color", pages 4-5: Voices of Alaska ↗
These pages include translations of related vocabulary words into several native Alaskan languages and a map showing the Indigenous Peoples and Languages of Alaska.
A significant feature of this coloring book is its inclusion of Alaska Native languages, providing words related to the Sun and sky from cultures such as Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, Central Yupik/Cup'ik, Iñupiaq, Lower Koyukon Athabascan, Ten Kenaga'/Lower Tanana Athabascan, Ts'msyen/Sm'algyax, and Xaad kil/Haida. A collaborative work between the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, Arctic and Earth SIGNS, and the NASA Heliophysics Education Activation Team (HEAT), this coloring book blends art and science, making complex heliophysics concepts accessible to audiences of all ages. Designed for both educators and learners, the coloring book aims to spark curiosity and creativity, as well as educate readers about the Sun and its influence on Earth and the solar system.
