Native American Heritage Day acknowledges past and current challenges faced by Indigenous people; celebrates their stories, cultures and traditions; and showcases the beauty of the hundreds of Tribal communities throughout Alaska and the US. 📸 @firstalaskans

Elders & Youth Conference is a wholly unique and wonderful tradition that allows Alaska Native generations to come together and pass down cultural knowledge, art, subsistence practices, and so much more. Thank you to the @firstalaskans for organizing and hosting, and the volunteers who help make this conference so special. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! adn.com/alaska-life/2024/10/…
