GET OUT THE NATIVE VOTE SHAREHOLDERSPotlight Clara Amidon The U.S. General Election is Tuesday, Nov. 3! CIRI shareholder Clara Amidon (Yup’ik and Unangan) never dreamed she’d be teaching virtually during a pandemic. In fact, growing up in ’s Bristol Bay region in the 1960s and early ‘70s, her family didn’t even own a television.

“We moved to Anchorage when I was 13, after my father passed away,” Clara recalls. “The city was a culture shock, and it took me a long while to get my footing. There were roads, homes, color TV… And not just one store—there were many!

“How to fit in, how to adapt—it’s a learning process, and I remember it well,” Clara continued. “And then that survival mechanism kicks in. You figure things out quickly as a young person, especially as a young Native person, because Our People are taught to observe.”

Those early memories helped prepare Clara for a career in teaching, first in Anchorage School District (ASD) public schools and then, for the last 13 years, at the Alaska Native Cultural Charter School (ANCCS).

A K-8 school, the mission of the ANCCS is to build student excellence through traditional cultural learning. The school is a Title 1 public charter school within the ASD, which means it receives supplementary funding to improve academic What you need to know: How can I find out whether I’m registered? achievement for low-income students.
