Alaska Native Heritage Center Seeks Cultural Advisors

The Alaska Native Heritage Center is seeking Alaska Native elders, tradition bearers, and experts to serve as members of the Alaska Native Heritage Center Council of Cultural Advisors. The Alaska Native Heritage Center Board of Directors established the council to serve as a resource to ensure the accuracy and quality of the center's programs and educational activities.

"The programs and policy committee provides oversight and guidance to staff on all aspects of the Center's programming and cultural content," stated Vernon Chimegalrea, Alaska Native Heritage Center cultural outreach director. "With the council of cultural advisors, we hope to develop ongoing contact with many people who can share their expertise, experiences and insights about their Native culture. In the course of developing new programs or activities, the Center's staff will call on cultural advisors to seek their guidance and input."

Chimegalrea added that the goal in establishing the council is to increase statewide participation by Alaska Natives in guiding the Heritage Center's development, as well as to add breadth and depth to the programs and activities presented by the center. The council will consist of individuals from throughout the state who are nominated or volunteer to serve as advisors in a particular area of interest or expertise. Occasionally, small groups of advisors will convene to help the staff plan programs or exhibits. In addition, the Heritage Center will host a gathering of cultural advisors once a year to benefit from group interactions and the cross-fertilization of ideas that comes from such a gathering.

Anyone who wishes to serve as a cultural advisor or nominate another person should contact Chimegalrea at (907) 330-8021 or toll-free (800) 315-6608 ext. 8021, email vchimegalrea@alaskanative.net, or write to the Alaska Native Heritage Center at 8800 Heritage Center Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99506.
