The Special Section this month is Alaska Native. Our Alaska Native Corporations have operations globally; they have subsidiaries and partners in every major Alaska industry; they employ thousands of people in and out of the state; they have scholarships and training programs; they are preserving their languages; they create and support platforms for art and performance; they train new generations in traditional skills; they celebrate and honor their elders; they develop programs to prepare their youth. And they generously gift local editors with books that share their stories of loss and hope to fill up the holes in our libraries.
