ahnuu dAXunhyuu AXAkihya’ iLka’ GAdAqeeLinuu (Eyak) translates to “side by side in the same direction the people go by canoe.” This theme amplifies the importance of being in solidarity during this pandemic and a polarizing time in our state and nation. It is an empowering example of breaking the reins of colonization by Indigenizing all aspects of life and forever practicing the ways of our peoples.
