At mid-October’s Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) convention in Anchorage, we had the privilege of representing the Alaska Food Policy Council and sharing a booth with our friends from the Intertribal Agriculture Council.

As we observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we encourage everyone to engage more deeply with the efforts to support Indigenous food sovereignty. This day should be about more than symbolic recognition; it’s an opportunity to listen to Alaska Native communities, understand their challenges, and take meaningful steps to support their food systems.
