Today, we recognize the strength, knowledge, cultures and resilience of Alaska Native peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Much like the power and spirit expressed through the dance in this video, we are grateful for the traditions passed down through generations and the stories still waiting to be told. This dance was performed by the Yurapik Drummers and Dancers of Anchorage.

We’re thankful for the Alaska Native community partners, Elders, educators and students who share their knowledge and experiences in our classrooms and throughout our community. These connections, rooted in the sharing and interweaving of cultures, strengthen our community and help us build a brighter, more sustainable and equitable future.

APU’s first Elder’s Tea of the season brought students, Elders and community members together for food, conversation, and connection.

This gathering was held on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. Elder Wilson Justin shared thoughtful reflections on the history and lasting impacts of boarding schools, raising awareness about the importance of remembering, honoring and learning from the experiences of those affected by residential schools. We are grateful to Elder Wilson for sharing his perspective and to the greater community for coming together in solidarity with Indigenous communities.

Our next Elders' Tea is October 28th. We hope to see you there!

A few days after Fat Bear Week wrapped up, here’s a pretty amazing reminder that there’s much more to Alaska’s brown bears than their impressive size. 🐻

APU graduate student and researcher Beth Rosenberg is the co-author of a new study developing AI technology that can identify individual brown bears in the wild, even as their appearance changes throughout the year. The technology could help researchers better understand bear behavior, populations and movement without relying on collars, tags or other invasive methods.

Rosenberg and researchers at EPFL trained the system using more than 72,000 images of 109 individual brown bears from Alaska’s McNeil River State Game Sanctuary. Enjoy this video of a bear chasing salmon from this summer!

From Fat Bear Week champions to cutting-edge wildlife research, Alaska’s bears are giving us plenty to learn from. 🐻
