Tribal Heroes and the Warrior Spirit
Alaska Native tribes are committed to protecting, at the village level, the lands and waters upon which they depend for subsistence, culture, traditional language, and community wellness. To do this, tribal leaders have spent decades working to forge tribal self-sufficiency, self-determination, and healthy lands and waters so their cultures and communities can survive and thrive. Many tribal leaders have demonstrated a strong warrior spirit, fighting for and supporting tribal sovereignty, education, environmental integrity, children’s wellbeing, and jurisdictional challenges with the State of Alaska and other organizations. The next generation needs to know how great tribal leaders have dedicated their lives to lead their people through conflicts and challenges. These challenges include such daunting village problems as suicide, domestic violence, the sexual abuse of children, changing tribal political status, and threats to subsistence uses of and access to lands and waters. Listen and talk with tribal leaders as they discuss modern day challenges and draw upon their life experiences. Learn about what tribes are, what they stand for, how they are fighting to protect our lands and waters, and how Alaska Native youth can get involved in the struggle to protect their cultures.
