Alaska’s Native Voice – Living Indigenous Ways of Life

Elders and young people from across Alaska, gather together each fall for the First Alaskans Institute’s Elders and Youth Conference. The event offers space for community members to come together and learn about a number of topics from subsistence practices to language revitalization to the arts. The focus of the 2024 conference is on land and food – living Indigenous ways of life.

Alaska’s Native Voice (ANV), now in its 13th year, is hosted by National Native News anchor Antonia Gonzales with freelance producer Emily Schwing. The program highlights guests and recorded voices from AFN attendees, and engages in conversation about top issues facing Alaska Native communities across the state including climate issues, education, and language and culture.
