Today (and every day), we honor the first people of Alaska on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Did you know that there are 11 distinct Alaska Native cultures? Alaska Native culture is vivid and dynamic, filled with art, music, self expression and respect for the land and their elders. Below you’ll see an example of a traditional Yup’ik dance shown by Alaska Native Heritage Center.
