Our Cause
Support the next generation through cultural youth development programs
Afognak Alutiiq youth activities offer invaluable opportunities to learn the endangered Alutiiq language and practice land stewardship, traditional harvest, survival skills and healthy relationships. Tribal-led cultural education activities seek to build a sense of pride, identity, and wellbeing in Alutiiq youth. The Alutiiq people’s history and ongoing economic and social impacts is why reconnecting these youth to their Afognak Island homeland to practice healthy traditional activities is so valuable, for both those who live on Kodiak Island and those who return in the summer. Thank you for your generosity to help sustain cultural education opportunities for Afognak Alutiiq youth.
