NSB Health DepartmentView organization ›For this week's Throwback Thursday we are highlighting the Iñupiaq value: Aatchuqtuutiłiq Avatmun (sharing and caring for others).
Sharing food and resources with family, elders, and neighbors helps us stay connected and be there for each other. When we share and care, we build stronger relationships and make sure no one is alone
This Inupiaq value teaches us that taking care of each other is part of living a healthy life. When we help each other, our whole community grows stronger and healthier.

Iḷisaġvik CollegeView organization ›Utuqqanaat Uqaluktuaqtut – Life Experiences of the Elders
On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Iḷisaġvik College came together with our Utuqqanaat (Elders) to honor the Survivors of the boarding school system, along with their families and communities.
We began by watching Rachel Naŋinaaq Edwardson’s documentary, History of the Iñupiat: Nipaa Ilitqusipta – The Voice of Our Spirit. We then gathered for Utuqqanaat Uqaluktuaqtut – Life Experiences of the Elders. Our Utuqqanaat shared their stories, experiences, and wisdom while we listened, reflected, and learned. Together, we took time to deepen our understanding of the lasting impacts of the boarding school system.
Through reflection, learning, and the knowledge they shared with us, we reaffirmed our commitment to truth, healing, and reconciliation. We carry their stories forward with honor and respect, and we stand together in strength for generations to come.
Quyanaqpak to Molly Kakianaaq Pederson, Edith Sirroun Nageak, Martha Ikayuaq Stackhouse, and Louisa Kakianaaq Riley for sharing their stories with such courage and generosity, to Naŋinaaq for her powerful work, and to everyone who joined us.

Inuit Circumpolar Council AlaskaBefore the Arctic Council was formed, in 1991, the eight Arctic states signed an agreement on Arctic cooperation, the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS). The three Indigenous Peoples' organizations: Inuit Circumpolar Council, Saami Council, and Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North (RAIPON), were originally admitted as Observer organizations and later negotiated to have full access to negotiations as Permanent Participants. This photo was taken at the first ever Arctic Leaders' Summit in 1991, an international gathering of the three Indigenous Peoples' organizations that would later become the founding Permanent Participants of the Arctic Council.
