A GATHERING IN SUPPORT OF ALASKA NATIVE EDUCATORS, STUDENTS, AND YOUTH ADVOCATES

GIRDWOOD, ALASKA
Alyeska Hotel — Columbia Ballroom
August 2-3, 2021
Camai! Welcome.

I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to the Dena’ina people, descendants of Mount Susitna, the Sleeping Lady, for allowing me as a visitor on their beloved lands. I am also mindful and honored to be welcomed by the Suqpiaq people, to connect with them on the cherished lands of their ancestors. I respect and honor their homelands and history.

Thank you for joining us as we come together after many months of separation and isolation. It is my hope that this gathering will be a gentle yet rejuvenating place for all of us to connect, laugh a little, share, and learn from one another. The theme, Fostering Joy and Resilience, has been driving us through the planning and choice of presenters. I’m confident that with all of us here together, we will indeed rejuvenate in this spirit.

Thank you to all of the presenters, youth leaders, Project GRAD staff, and the Dept. of Education Alaska Native Education program grant for making this conference possible. And thank you to the students, families, communities, and educators for having the confidence in us to participate in what I hope will be an uplifting couple of days.

Kindly,
