Saturday, October 22, 2022 – Alaska Native Language and Culture
Elders, advocates, educators and tribal leaders are among those committed to making sure Indigenous languages and cultures continue to be priorities in education. Efforts are being made for younger generations through higher learning, and beyond. Language and culture are being taught in schools, in community learning groups, summer programs, and at cultural events. Language and culture are often a focus of many statewide gatherings and conferences. We’ll talk about the importance of language and culture in schools, and how communities are embracing programs to keep them alive.

Thursday, October 20, 2022 – Typhoon MerbokIndigenous communities up and down Alaska’s west coast continue to recover from a historic storm, which slammed into the state in September. Typhoon Merbok devastated Indigenous communities. People lost valuable resources from boats to fishing nets, dry houses, and other tools essential to their Indigenous hunting and fishing subsistence way of life. People also lost food they had already stored up, essential to getting them through the winter. We discuss the typhoon, emergency preparedness, and the impacts of climate change.
