The 42nd annual First Alaskans Institute Statewide Elders and Youth Conference will take place at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage, Oct. 12-15. Elders and Youth is open to all who want to learn and immerse themselves in a gathering that centers Elders and youth in Native ways of knowing and being.
The Elders and Youth Conference is not open to the public the way the annual Alaska Federation of Natives Conference is. EY Council representatives each register and agree to the rules that help keep the conference safe for Elders and youth. First Alaskans Institute, the organizing entity of the conference, is committed to the protection of Elders and youth conference participants and requires all attendees to register as a matter of safety and security.
First Alaskans invites Native language teachers, artists, writers, cooks, culture bearers, providers, community organizations and leaders to share the gift of time, energy and wisdom with our Elders and youth during the conference.
