Events of Alaska - Civil Rights for All (SE.AK 5.02)

Since the beginning of time, Alaska has been a ‘last frontier’ for many, including our indigenous cultures, who migrated from Russia, Asia, and up from the ‘Lower 48.’
What can we do today to respect, recognize & honor each culture in Alaska?  What will YOU do to ensure civil rights are followed?  Think about getting involved in a service organization like “School-to-School” for the war in Uganda; or the “Bridge Builders” of Anchorage, or even volunteering at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference.
