I don't know anything about these languages, but have you had a look at the omniglot-website? It's often a good starting point:

At least one person here tried learning Inuktitut. Here's their log.

As Sonjaconjota notes, the Omniglot website can be helpful. I would also suggest using the Search function on this (the Language Learners) site - there are several members here who have studied Inuktitut who have mentioned and commented on a number of useful sources. Just make sure you spell Inuktitut correctly in your searches - you mispelled it in your re: line. Inuktitut is a very active language in parts of northern Canada and there is a fair bit of material available in the language, including some trilingual (English, French, Inuktitut) material

Just out of interest, why are you interested in Sirenikski? It has a very narrow footprint and I believe has been considered extinct for a number of decades.

ETA: mine crossed with vonPeterhof`s post. It was mainly Deinonysus I was thinking of.
