Join us for a presentation and discussion with guest speaker Ayyu Qassataq, an Iñupiaq & Yup’ik advocate from Alaska, about how our identities are shaped by our histories and how reclaiming cultural practices bring healing and strength to us as contemporary Inuit today.
Ayyu is from Unalakleet and Anchorage, Alaska. She is an advocate, scholar and lifelong learner of our peoples' knowledge. Her thesis, "When Uŋalaqłiq Danced: Stories of Strength, Suppression & Hope" explored the history of missionary contact and the education system in Alaska and its ongoing impacts to Native people.
