K-12 Student & Teacher Resource Books

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.

The Alaska project “Preserving a Culture”
(57 minutes)

Learn about the Athabascan culture from Native Elders at the Alaska Indigenous Peoples’ Academy campsite on the Yukon River.

Seven certified Native teachers of the Association of Interior Native Educators discuss ideas on how to use the information in the classroom.

Also view majestic scenes on a day trip with the group of Native Elders and teachers.

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.

The Alaska Project “Remembering the Elders”
(25 minutes)

Join the Association of Interior Native Educators members and selected elders at their 6th Annual Elders Academy held at Howard Luke’s Gaalee’ya Spirit Camp in August 2001. The Camp is located near Old Chena Village on Tanana River. The focus of this year Elders Academy was on Caribou.

This video has four sections:

  • Caribou Tufting (Selina Alexander)
  • Caribou Legging Boots (Paulina Stickman and Pauline Peter)
  • Willow Root Basket Making (Lina Demoski)
  • Willow Fish Trap (Howard Luke)
