Alaska Native Children's drawings and stories about subsistence activities. Includes a calendar of subsistence activities, why and how to incorperate these in to your classroom. Ways for parents to be involved in their child's education at home and school.

This project involves the use of Native knowledge to develop teaching activities at home, in the community, and in the schools and to understand what is of value to parents and communities in rural Alaska. This project is centered around young children's knowledge of subsistence skills and the implications for educators. Incorporation of Native student's knowledge, values and skills learned from a subsistence lifestyle provides teachers with a relevant framework for lessons/projects in the classroom and also provides students with a much more stimulating and attractive educational process.
