    AFN at 60 DAY 3. Saturday, Oct. 24th: Against the Odds

    This episode looks at how AFN overcame what seemed to be insurmountable challenges. The 1960’s were a time of heightened racism, when newcomers to the state were taking over traditional lands and pushing development that threatened Native cultures and ways of life. Most villages only had one phone and limited mail service. How could people communicate across such vast distances? AFN’s shoestring budget came from its members, who dug into their pockets or held bake sales to raise cash. Yet despite the daunting obstacles, AFN’s early leaders found ways to organize, communicate and build a movement that would endure for generations. This program also explores how the tiny Tundra Times newspaper became the movement’s lifeline –how it carried news, ideas and inspiration across Alaska. Some contend that without the Tundra Times, AFN would have struggled to bridge Alaska’s vast distances and transform scattered voices into a powerful, unified movement. Hosted by KNBA’s Rhonda McBride, this three-part series celebrates the Alaska Federation of Native’s 60th anniversary. It explores AFN’s colorful history — from its first gathering in October 1966 above a fur store in downtown Anchorage — to its early visionary leaders who transformed AFN into a major political force to fight for land claims, civil rights and social justice.

    AFN at 60 DAY 2. Thursday, Oct. 23rd: The Gathering that Changed Alaska

    DAY 2. Friday, Oct. 23rd: The Gathering that Changed Alaska. This episode revisits AFN’s very first meeting in October 1966, when Native leaders from across Alaska gathered above a fur store in downtown Anchorage. They spoke different languages, wore different clothes, and came from vastly different regions of the state. Yet they had one common denominator: a love of the land and their way of life. Over the course of a single weekend, barriers of language, geography, and culture gave way to a common cause and laid the foundation for a movement that would unite Alaska Natives for the first time and mark a new era of Alaska Native leadership.  Hosted by KNBA’s Rhonda McBride, this three-part series celebrates the Alaska Federation of Native’s 60th anniversary. It explores AFN’s colorful history — from its first gathering in October 1966 above a fur store in downtown Anchorage — to its early visionary leaders who transformed AFN into a major political force to fight for land claims, civil rights and social justice.

    AFN at 60 DAY 1. Thursday, Oct. 22nd: One Man’s Dream

    DAY 1. Thursday, Oct. 22nd: One Man’s Dream. Nick Gray and the Birth of AFN. Before the Alaska Federation of Natives became a powerful voice for Native rights, there was Nick Gray. This episode traces the remarkable story of a man whose dream of forming a statewide Native organization took shape during his worldwide travels with Ignacy Paderewski, the virtuoso Polish pianist and statesman who later helped lead Poland’s fight for independence after World War II. When Paderewski hired Gray as his valet while touring the United States in the 1920’s, Gray saw firsthand how a determined leader could unite people behind a common cause. Inspired by Paderewski’s vision and leadership, Gray returned to Alaska with a dream of his own — to lay the foundation for AFN and forever change the course of Alaska Native history.  Hosted by KNBA’s Rhonda McBride, this three-part series celebrates the Alaska Federation of Native’s 60th anniversary.
