First Alaskans Institute characterizes this year’s conference theme of Woosht Guganéix, Lingít for “let it be that we heal each other,” as “powerful.”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The 2023 Statewide Elders and Youth Conference marks four decades of an Alaska Native tradition to advance what leaders say are community priorities and cultural celebrations.
“If we have one voice, we can move mountains,” said an Alaska Native woman sitting outside of the Dena’ina Center. With Alaska being a huge state, there are always diverse issues becoming apparent to Alaska Natives, so this allows a strengthened response to those problems. Wolfe says the conference is unique, being one of the only opportunities for Alaska Natives to come together. There are opportunities to learn Indigenous song and dance, salmon and deer harvesting, cultural practices, various language dialogues and storytelling.
