The Alaska Native Heritage Center (ANHC) is seeking Alaska Native elders, tradition-bearers, and experts to serve as members of the Council of Cultural Advisors. The council was recently established by the ANHC Board of Directors 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, ANHC's 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 ANHC staff will call on cultural advisors to seek their guidance and input." Chimegalrea added that the goals in establishing the council are to increase participation by Alaska Natives across the state in guiding the 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 an advisor 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 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 wishing to serve as a cultural advisor or nominate another person should call (907) 330-8021 or 1-800-315-6608 ext. 8021, email at info@alaskanative.net, or write to the Alaska Native Heritage Center at 8800 Heritage Center Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99506.
