Today (and every day), we honor the first people of Alaska on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Did you know that there are 11 distinct Alaska Native cultures? Alaska Native culture is vivid and dynamic, filled with art, music, self expression and respect for the land and their elders. Below you’ll see an example of a traditional Yup’ik dance shown by Alaska Native Heritage Center.

One of our Alaska Native Traditional Values is: Know who you are and where you come from. “This value reminds us to practice our traditions and our ways of life of the Alaska Native cultures. When we remember to practice this value, it reminds us to live with good character, to be respectful, to live with our cultures and traditions, and it helps us with good decision making. This value helps guide us in life and reminds us about how we should be from the culture we come from.” - ANHC Community
