Land & Community
Our land and communities are the foundation for who we are as Native peoples. We need healthy and thriving communities to move forward into the future. Our connection to land and its resources are central to our success and future.Traditions & Culture
To ensure, regain, and restore healthy communities, we need to know our languages and histories; and we need to know the importance of being Alaska Native. When we know these things we know we are okay and that we belong.Health & Education
We know it is time to choose to live a healthy life. Physically and mentally we must be engaged in activities that support healthier people. Education is critical to our success.
