Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska
Description:
To learn more about Alaska Native cultures and to find education units with guides, lessons, resources and answers, go to our Smithsonian Learning Lab site: https://learninglab.si.edu/org/sasc-ak. The Alaska office of the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center at the Anchorage Museum works collaboratively with Alaska Native Elders, culture-bearers, scholars, artists and educators on cultural heritage research, documentation and education. The videos on this channel, filmed and edited from this work, provide instructional and educational information about Alaska Native lifeways, arts and languages. Visit the exhibition "Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage: The First Peoples of Alaska" or read the catalog to find Indigenous voices, perspectives and knowledge about masterworks of Alaska Native art and design from the National Museum of Natural History and National Museum of the American Indian collections. Free DVD copies for some of the video sets are still available: please contact Dawn Biddison at biddisond@si.edu. NOTE: The knowledge that Alaska Natives (Indigenous peoples of Alaska) have shared on this site is their cultural heritage, and they have cultural property rights for this knowledge. Please utilize what you learn from Alaska Natives with respect to their rights, which includes not using what you learn for personal gain such as selling artwork derived from this knowledge. To learn more about how to appreciate Alaska Native cultures respectfully, please go to the collection https://learninglab.si.edu/q/ll-c/Ha7AjCcnSBrgNbJt#r/44789 on this site where you will find a video and additional resources to learn more.
