Sew Yup'ik

Waqaa and hello! 🤍

Welcome to Sew Yup’ik. I’m Nikki, a proud Yup’ik and Polish woman and the creator behind Sew Yup’ik, a cultural sewing business I started in 2015.

Through this channel, I share DIY sewing tutorials, qaspeq-making guides, and pieces of Yup’ik knowledge passed down through practice. You’ll find videos on traditional sewing, fish cutting, gathering, salve making, and everyday skills rooted in our ancestral ways.

Wiinga Quluqaaq.
(I am Quluqaaq.)

My mission is to share Yup’ik knowledge one video at a time and help keep our traditions alive through sewing, storytelling, and connection. This space is about learning, remembering, and honoring our culture with care and respect.
Quyana cakneq for being here and supporting Indigenous teaching and cultural revitalization.
