And Knowledge to Keep Us

Every year Sugpiat kids gather for Akhiok Kids Camp to connect with and celebrate knowledge their Ancestors grew for over 7500 years. But a barrier lies between the kids and their Ancestors: 200 years of colonial suppression that reduced their words to whispers. The Camp is part of the race against time to repatriate and reawaken Sugpiaq knowledge and culture.
