Talk:Akutaq

How-to

I removed the "how-to" list from the article, because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A better place to add recipes and guides for making Akutaq would be Cookbook on Wikibooks --Miskwito 08:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

What is ᐊᑯᑕᖅ ?. The Akutaq (from Inupiaq language akutaq < akut- "to mix" & Central Alaskan Yup'ik language and Chevak Cup’ik language akutaq, Nunivak Cup’ig language akutar) is make only in Alaska and the Inuktitut syllabics not used in Alaska. --Kmoksy (talk) 20:56, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

It was added here and they are still aactive so you might check with them. I also noticed this (you may need to turn the syllabics on), number 4 on the list. That of course lead to Utkuhiksalik dialect, so it was used in syllabic areas as well, but as a slightly different food. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

You're right. Thanks, CambridgeBayWeather --Kmoksy (talk) 14:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

I was looking for something else and came across this with another spelling, akutuq. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 14:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Oooo, This is a treasure! Thanks. I created tr:Eskimo dondurması (Eskimo ice-cream) on the Turkish Wikipedia for the page tr:İnyupikler (Inupiat or Alaskan Inuit people). In Northern Alaskan Iñupiaq: The akutuq (with postbase -uq for Eskimo ice-cream) and akutaq (with postbase -aq for bread dough) < from Iñupiaq Combined Dictionary.

Is there a reason Indian ice cream (Alaska) should not be merged with Akutaq? --Melsj (talk) 02:20, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Based on the articles, it does seem like Akutaq is a type of Indian ice cream (Alaska), and should be merged into that article. The combined article might require a rename, as this dish is also found in Canada. (Tricky...) I will notify Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America of this discussion to see if anyone there has insight and/or wants to weigh in. -sche (talk) 04:55, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

• Support. Makes sense to merge Indian ice cream (Alaska) into Akutaq. "Indian ice cream (Alaska)" is awkward and problematic. Yuchitown (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Yuchitown

  Many (most?) varieties are not called Akutaq, though; is there evidence that Akutaq is the WP:COMMONNAME for this product overall in all its varieties? (The parenthetical qualifier "Alaksa" on the existing name, which may need to be changed, distinguishes it from the soapberry-based food called "Indian ice cream (Canada)".) -sche (talk) 20:32, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

  This Smithsonian article suggests that akutaq includes mammal-fat and fish based recipes; however, perhaps it might be best to rename Indian ice cream (Alaska) to Alaskan ice cream and merge Akutaq into that. So I do support and merge and will introduce the additional proposal of a name change. Yuchitown (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)Yuchitown

I still support the merge and have introduced a separate proposal to change the name of Indian ice cream (Alaska) to Alaskan ice cream. Discussion is here. Yuchitown (talk) 15:33, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Yuchitown
