Working with our faculty curators, university students – both undergraduates and graduate students – participated in research expeditions across the state, from Glacier Bay to the Kenai Peninsula to the Brooks Range. These expeditions gave the students valuable field research experience while helping build our collections at the same time. We continued to expand our education initiatives, partnering with schools both here in The University of Alaska Museum of the North’s FY05 annual report is published with support from: Fairbanks and in rural Alaska to make our resources available to teachers and students. Like the university students’ field research, these initiatives help ensure that the museum’s lifelong learning efforts extend far beyond our walls. Of course, we couldn’t have done any of this without a highly talented staff, many of whom celebrated museum anniversaries over the course of the year; the help of dedicated volunteers who donate hundreds of hours to our research collections, public programs and special events and the financial support of our members, corporate partners and other donors.

This report with an edited transcript and photos is intended to provide the reader with a full perspective of who participated and what was covered. The full transcript and set of detailed presentations are available at: nativefederation.org/alaskaday2018. Open Letter: The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) under the leadership of Co-chairs Ana Hoffman and Will Mayo, in partnership with the Alaska Congressional Delegation, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the State of Alaska and U.S. Secretary of the Interior, the Honorable Ryan Zinke, were pleased to welcome leaders and decision-makers to this 2018 Alaska Day conference. The purpose was to discuss the risks and threats to national interests in Alaska and the priority investments that will serve to help counter these concerns. Because of emerging threats, Alaska’s place in our national interests is heightened and operations are changing. Critical resources must become available to meet them effectively. This is not a new discussion. What is new is that the Alaska Native people are at the table for these vital discussions on national security and national interests in Alaska. We have continued to build capacity over the years and we need to be involved at this critical time as a trusted partner.
