And Knowledge to Keep Us

Every year at Cape Alitak on Kodiak Island in southern Alaska, Sugpiat kids gather for Akhiok Kids Camp to connect with each other and celebrate the knowledge their ancestors cultivated for more than 7500 years. Unfortunately, a barrier lies between the kids and their ancestors - 200 years of colonial suppression that smashed their boats, scattered their technologies, and reduced their words to whispers. The Akhiok Kids Camp is part of the race against time to repatriate and reawaken Sugpiat knowledge and culture, creating a path to a more positive future.
