Dataset containing (5) GIS shapefiles which can be used to visualize a circumpolar overview map of geographical language speaker areas for Arctic Indigenous Peoples languages with additional attribute information about the languages. The language speaker areas show generally the maximum continuous areas where the Indigenous Peoples who spoke those languages lived in a historical context. The exact time range is defined specifically per region. Data from the languages and dialects shapefile was used to make language family and language family branch shapefiles. There is also a separate shapefile with some examples of innovative language revitalization in the region. There is a supporting shapefile of Arctic places to assist when visualizing the data. The 5 shapefiles can be used together or separately. All shapefiles are intended to be used as open resources for education and research.
