DVDs and Other Resources
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
The Alaska Indigenous Peoples' Academy,1998
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.In August 1996, six Native Elders and eleven certified teachers attended an Elders Academy in Old Minto.

Book: Evelyn Alexander: A life History in Her Own Words
in collaboration with Joshua Weiser, AINE 2007
Evelyn Alexander's Life Story gave us a glimopse into a way of life in Interior Alaska that is gradually fading from memory as those who experienced it first hand pass on. In collaboration with Joshua Weiser, Evelyn describes her experiences growing up in the Minto Flats area and how the demands of day-to-day living forged a close relationship to the land and those she shared her life with. Through her words, we were able to gain an appreciation of the immense changes that people of her generation underwent in their lifetime. Young and old can learn from Evelyn's story.
