“I decided to work towards my Associate of Arts degree in indigenous early learning
education, and my experience inspired me to fortify my cultural knowledge and implement it within our younger generation. I strongly
believe our youth are the key to restoring our Iñupiaq identity … and I am honored to be a
part of their guidance.”

“I received my Associate degree of applied science in telecom electronics and computer
technology. I am currently working as the senior systems analyst at Cook Inlet Housing
Authority. I would like to say to the young shareholders, ‘No matter where you are from or where you grew up, with time and effort you can make your career happen. You are
the next generation of leaders.’”
