The conference — back in person for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic — runs each day until Wednesday.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - After meeting virtually for the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 39th annual Statewide Elders and Youth Conference is finally back in person.
“We like to tell people if your want to know what’s happening in our native community, talk to our elders and talk to our youth,” Ayyu Qassataq, vice president of First Alaskans Institute, said. “So this one of our favorite times of the year where we create space to live, love and grow who we are as Native people.”
Conference guides Samuel Hiratsuka and Kungunna Gabe Canfield provided some insight on what the youth gain from this experience. While the youth try to listen and learn as much as they can, elders like 80-year-old Pete Kompkoff believe it’s important for elders to pass knowledge on to younger generations.
