The I Am Salmon project: I Am Salmon is a multi-disciplinary, multi-lingual, multicultural, multinational curriculum project, with participants in Japan, Russia, Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia and Washington. The project is designed to develop a sense of place (in one's watershed) and a sense of self (in the circle of life) and an understanding of how they are connected. The general purpose of I Am Salmon is for students to explore the natural history of their watershed by documenting the history of wild salmon streams near their communities and share that information with other students around the Pacific Rim. The six species of Pacific salmon serve as the unifying theme of I Am Salmon-their ties to watershed habitats, dependence on natural cycles and roles in ancestral and modern cultures in nations throughout the northern Pacific Ocean. By following the cycle of migrating salmon, students can learn lessons about the larger themes of life-birth, death and transformation-and an understanding of ones place, both in local watersheds and the world. Southeast Alaska I Am Salmon teams are developing curricula and educational resources. Team members will share these resources, which include Tlingit Cultural Atlases, Electronic Tlingit Language drills, Electronic Salmon part drills, Tlingit Plants, and Salmon units. At the higher education level, the Southeast Alaska Tribal College will use project curriculum to reorient SEATC classes toward a Native and Tlingit perspective, and to train faculty in the development of courses that are more in-line with the mission and worldview that inform all the college's programs.

Ilisagvik College was created because of the dedication of early I?upiat leaders who envisioned a time when education would be locally controlled. This was one of the rights that the North Slope residents fought for as they sought the creation of the North Slope Borough, a local home-rule government. Ilisagvik College was founded to serve the residents of the North Slope of Alaska by providing an education based on the I?upiat cultural heritage. Ilisagvik College is an institution dedicated to preparing and strengthening I?upiat culture, language, values, and traditions.
