Names for Snow

Hi all,
I was working on my Iditarod Jeopardy questions and discovered a couple of sites you might be interested in. The first one is in the North Slope Borough School District which includes Barrow. The particular page of interest is www.nsbsd.org/anep/public/index.cfm/14,504,html.
The next site is www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/eskimonames.htm. You'll find Inupiaq names for oodles of English words and an explanation of different types of snow and its importance to Alaskan survival.

Martha, Just this week a junior high teacher asked me about resources for native languages and I shared your information with him. Thank you!
