Sophie Minich, outgoing CEO and president of CIRI, speaks at the Alaska Federation of Natives convention on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023.
“Our traditional ways of life as Alaska Native people are centered around land, and subsistence,” Hoffman said. “And that sustains us as Alaska Native people for thousands of years, and we continue to practice that way throughout the state.” “Overcoming the collective challenges that face us requires clearly defined priorities, consensus, and coalition building, cooperation, respectful dialogue and courage,” Minich said.
She ended her keynote speech talking about the future, and the ways that Alaska Native people would need to use new technologies and ingenuity to protect and preserve their ways of life.
