Friday Focus: Indigenous Peoples Day - An opportunity for healing, celebration, and recognition
October 11, 2024
My Denakk'e name is Neggakk'o. It was my late great-grandmother Anna's name and I was told that it's such an old name, that its meaning has been lost. It used to bother me that my Denakk'e name doesn't have a known meaning. Today though, I'm proud to have a name that has survived against all odds. You see, who I am today as an Athabascan person has also survived against the odds. For me to be here today, my ancestors had to survive for time immemorial and one of the harshest climates in the world.

Extra batteries, blankets, and wood for your stove, or maybe you are equipped with a generator. Using a generator for backup power is common in Alaska, and unfortunately so is carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust.

Friday Focus: Using notice as a verb
October 04, 2024
When we see the word 'NOTICE' on an email, website, or bulletin board, we expect information is coming. However, thinking about it as merely a noun, like 'MEMO', can decrease its urgency. Sometimes, using 'notice' as a verb can enhance our lives. Imagine getting lost on unmarked trails - frustrating, until you notice a beautiful grove you hadn't explored before. Suddenly, that frustration is replaced by wonder. Or, waking in the middle of the night to a crying baby, a barking dog, or, thanks to my neighbors, a crowing rooster can feel exhausting. Until you notice the full moon bringing magic to the night. Even driving home in the dark during the long Alaska winter can feel oppressive. But noticing the aurora dancing in the sky and pulling over to enjoy the show changes everything! Noticing, then, is the first step to being in the moment, to mindfulness. It can happen anywhere.
