SHI was conceived by clan leaders, traditional scholars, and Elders at the first Sealaska Elders Conference in 1980. During that meeting, the Elders likened Native culture to a blanket. The late George Davis (Kichnáalx— Lk’aanaaw) of Angoon spoke these SHI’S “BLANKET OF KNOWLEDGE.” memorable words: “We don’t want what you did here to only echo in the air, how our grandfathers used to do things… Yes. You have unwrapped it for us. That is why we will open again this container of wisdom left in our care.” These wise traditional leaders told the new leaders that their hands were growing weary of holding onto the metaphorical blanket, this “container of wisdom.” They said they were transferring this responsibility to Sealaska, the regional Native corporation serving Southeast Alaska. In response, Sealaska founded SHI to operate cultural and educational programs. SHI’s mission is to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures. Our goal is to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding. ABOUT SHI // 5 WALTER SOBOLEFF CENTER GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY, AUGUST 1, 2013.

After working for so long to raise funds to build the Walter Soboleff Center, we finally broke ground in August. And before the year ended, the steel frame of the structure was up and the silhouette of this landmark building had taken shape. I can hardly believe that by 2015, the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian of Southeast Alaska will at long last have a building of their own to teach people about their culture. We hope the general public who have so kindly supported it will take great pride in this building as well. Donors came out in full force last year in support of the center and our programs. Some were major foundations that gave to us for the first time in 2013. I can’t thank them enough—not only our 2013 donors— but everyone who has given to us in recent years. They SHI PRESIDENT ROSITA KAA HÁNI WORL. are the reason the center is now coming to fruition. Our programs continued to flourish in 2013, especially our art program as we sponsored formline workshops region wide and skin-sewing workshops in six communities. Significantly, we also kicked off a three-year program with the Juneau school system to integrate Native arts into math programs. We have come a long way from the old school systems that methodically tried to stamp out Native cultures. Today, Native culture is not only taught in school but embraced as a means to teach children about abstract ideas, such as math. SCAN TO WATCH A We are proud to be a part of that. And I can’t wait to see YEAR-IN-REVIEW VIDEO! what the future brings. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT // 7 TOP AND ABOVE: WALTER SOBOLEFF CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN LATE 2013.

By the end of the year, the steel frame was erected and the building had begun to take shape. We broke ground with $2,000,000 more to raise to complete the $20,000,000 project, a practice that is not uncommon in construction. So we continued our fundraising efforts, and had success acquiring grants and donations GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY.

Donors in 2013 included ArtPlace America, Rasmuson Foundation, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, Cruise Industry Charitable Foundation, Doyon Limited, Wells Fargo, and the Juneau Lions Club. We also received donations from hundreds of individuals. We overcame some challenges to the project in 2013. Because the site for the center was located in the historic district, a Juneau historic advisory committee argued that SHI should be required to make one side of the building in the style of the Victorian era. The new Victorian-style facade would adversely affect the Native Alaskan design of the building and open old wounds between Natives and non- Natives, argued SHI President Rosita Worl before the Juneau assembly. She also testified that it would cost time and an additional $120,000 to change the design. SCAN TO WATCH THE In the end, the assembly voted to remove the center from GROUNDBREAKING the historic district, allowing SHI to use its original design. CEREMONY!

Sustainable Art Program Since we introduced our sustainable arts skin-sewing program in recent years, we’ve endeavored to keep up with demand. This program has hit a nerve with tribal members who have a yearning to learn this ancient art practice. In 2013, we offered 7 skin-sewing workshops to 152 students in 6 communities across Southeast Alaska. We also partnered with 12 hunters and a tannery to acquire furs and skins for the classes. Our goals are to perpetuate a traditional art form and MODEL MAKA MONTURE WEARING PIECES MADE OF SEA OTTER AND SEAL FUR. What Students Are Saying...

  • Resisting Linguistic Genocide: Language Revitalization and Immersion Schools in Lingít Aaní, Southeast Alaska
    RESISTING LINGUISTIC GENOCIDE: LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION AND IMMERSION SCHOOLS IN LINGÍT AANÍ, SOUTHEAST ALASKA By Meribeth E. Geiger A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science: Environment and Community Committee Membership Dr. Sarah J. Ray, Committee Chair Dr. Matthew A. Derrick, Committee Chair Mr. Mike Hoyt, Committee Member Dr. J. Mark Baker, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2016 ABSTRACT RESISTING LINGUISTIC GENOCIDE: LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION AND IMMERSION SCHOOLS IN LINGÍT AANÍ, SOUTHEAST ALASKA Meribeth E. Geiger The issue of language revitalization is central to the viability of Alaska Native communities. In order to resist language loss and ensure that languages are transmitted to younger generations, immense social efforts are required. Immersion schools have the potential to create more self-determined educational paradigms that are defined by internal cultural values rather than external western ideals, while simultaneously working to create a new generation of fluent speakers. However, immersion education is hindered by state and federally-sanctioned requirements that reduce communities’ abilities to sustain immersion schools, which this thesis argues is an issue of social justice. These state and federal requirements are in conflict with international and national laws and agreements that guarantee Indigenous groups the right to self-determined educational paradigms in the language of their choosing. In 2015, legislation was introduced to support the creation of immersion charter schools in the State of Alaska. With Alaska’s assimilationist history, the very creation of such legislation signals a shift in Alaskan politics. Through interviews, textual and content analysis, participation observation, community action research, and grounded theory methodologies, I find that Tlingit ii efforts to establish immersion schools are hindered especially by: 1) dominant culture teacher certification, and 2) required monolingual standardized testing.

  • The American Flag and the Alaska Native Brotherhood
    arts Article The American Flag and the Alaska Native Brotherhood Emily L. Moore Department of Art & Art History, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 August 2019; Accepted: 9 November 2019; Published: 2 December 2019 Abstract: The Alaska Native Brotherhood (ANB) (est. 1912) is one of the oldest Indigenous rights groups in the United States. Although critics have accused the ANB of endorsing assimilationist policies in its early years, recent scholarship has re-evaluated the strategies of the ANB to advance Tlingit and Haida governance at the same time that they pursued a strategic commitment to the settler state. Contributing to this re-appraisal of the early ANB, this article examines photographic documentation of the use of the American flag in ANB Halls from the period 1914–1945. I argue that the pairing of the American flag with Indigenous imagery in ANB Halls communicated the ANB’s commitment to U.S. citizenship and to Tlingit and Haida sovereignty. Keywords: Alaska Native Brotherhood; Alaska Native Sisterhood; American flag; Indigenous sovereignty; patriotic pluralism; Tlingit; Haida; Tsimshian The Alaska Native Brotherhood (ANB) is the oldest continuously active Indigenous rights’ organization in the United States.1 Established in 1912 by Tlingit and Tsimshian leaders at a meeting in Juneau, Alaska, and joined by the Alaska Native Sisterhood (ANS) in 1914, the ANB/ANS won an impressive list of battles in their first fifty years alone: U.S. citizenship for Alaska Natives in 1923, one year before Congress granted citizenship to all Native Americans; desegregated schools for mixed-race children in 1929, twenty-five years before Brown vs.
