These drums can be made with wood, ivory, antler, a sea mammal's stomach or bladder, parachute material, or non-rip nylon. Iñupiaq and Yup’ik Eskimo songs and dancers are similar, but have their differences. Iñupiaq Eskimo songs are usually consisted of two or three parts, usually song together. The first part is sung with a soft drum beat. The second part is sung same as the first, but with a harder drum beat. The third (if any), is the same as the second, but with no voices sung, just the drum beat. All Eskimo songs tell stories with songs and dances. Some Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni, Akuli, and Pamyua. Also, shorter Yup'ik songs are constructed with only the Mengluni and Pamyua. Yup'ik Eskimo songs are more complex and longer. Here is a diagram of a typical Yup'ik Eskimo song. Mengluni (loony ) or Ciuqlia (q ła ) (The Beginning) A - Voice and soft drum beat h - Very similar to A, but a harder drum beat Apallum Ciuqlia (aa łoom Jew q ła ) (The first verse) B - This is modernly called the verse.
