Nothing like pushing children to learn a stone age language to catapult those children into the future...I didn't realize that Inuit was older, per se, than English. Can you cite any sources to support that assertion?
You do realize that bilingualism is not a handicap, right? That bilinguals actually use more of their brain?
Are you opposed to teaching Ancient Greek in schools?

Barrow's population was 4,683 at the 2000 census and 4,212 at the 2010 census. In July 2013, the population estimate was 4,373.So what are they after here? Oblivion?

Its on the Arctic Ocean. Its as far north as you can live on the earth.
You have a perpetual midnight sun in the summer and near astronomical night in the winter.
Not a tourist destination.

So, are they gonna rip up the airstrip and revert to their previous way of life?
I don't get this. I don't.
