VISION: The Consortium for Alaska Native Higher Education
(CANHE) envisions a future in which Alaska's people are served by
Native institutions of higher learning that promote Alaska native
cultural values and community well-being.

Indigenous educators from across the state of Alaska have had numerous opportunities to meet cross-regionally and share issues and concerns of importance to them in their roles as educators. They first met as students of the ARTTC (Alaska Rural Teacher Training Corps) program and then as students of the X-CED (Cross-Cultural Education Development) program. With the formation of regional Native Educator Associations in the early 1990s to the present and the help of the Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative they continue to meet within their regional associations and in statewide Native educators conferences. As indigenous educators they have paved new trails in curriculum development, Academy of Elders camps and many other initiatives.

Pauline and Albert Duncan are from Sitka, Alaska, and have compiled this collection of their Tlingit translation for words and phrases common in the daily life of school children.

A database of lessons and units. More units will be available soon. You can use Acrobat Reader to look at the PDF version of the Cover Sheet for the Units and Self-Assessment for Cultural Standards in Practice.

The curriculum resources included here have been selected to illustrate ways in which indigenous and Western knowledge systems can be brought to bear in schools through a balanced, comprehensive and culturally-aligned curriculum framework adaptable to local circumstances. The resources are intended to help teachers and students make the connection between the knowledge, skills and ways of knowing used to maintain a livelihood in the villages, and the knowledge, skills and cultural standards for teaching and learning reflected in the school curriculum.
