The books were written by Carol Lee Gho and developed by Joy Simon
as part of the Project Alaska Indigenous People’s Academy Grant.
The information for the books came from several Alaska Native Elders
who taught certified Alaska Native Teachers the skills, stories, and
cultural activities at two-week camps along several different rivers
in interior Alaska. The resource books were made with the intent they
be used along side the Culturally Based Curriculum Units that were
developed by teachers and published by AINE. The K-12 resource books
were designed for students and teachers as a research tool to gain
background knowledge about the Alaska Native People. Each book is 30-80
pages with photos and information on the cultural activities.

Ten Thousand Years of Learning
(25 minutes)
In August 1996, six Native Elders and eleven certified
teachers attended an Elders Academy in Old Minto. Since then, AINE
has hosted a camp each summer at different locations in Interior Alaska.
The Elders have taught the teachers many traditional
Athabascan skills, such as how to make a Soos (winter cache), cut fish,
birch bark basket, fish net, and the use of traditional tools. Many
stories were told about the items they used and the traditional values
associated with each.
As a result of the five academies, teachers have developed
Athabascan curriculum units that meet the Alaska State Content and
Cultural Standards.
