Celebrating Alaska's Indigenous People
We are dedicating October and November to honoring Alaska Native people, cultures and knowledge.
Our goal is to make language revitalization a daily, long-term movement as a preservation of Indigenous cultures and wellbeing. Speaking different languages and dialects have many positive effects for the survival of Alaska Native cultures and traditions.
October Challenge: 30 days of language revitalization activity.
WORD OF THE DAY
Say it in your language
- Day 1: “Hello!”
- Day 2: “Grandparent(s)”
- Day 3: “Favorite Food”
- Day 4: “Favorite place on the land”
- Day 5: “Where is your family from?”
- Day 6: “Thank You!”
- Day 7: “What is the indigenous name for your village?”
