Camai! Welcome to Lives of Our Tribes, a podcast to highlight positive stories in our Native community. This podcast will include interviews from Native leaders from around Alaska who have used our Indigenous values to guide them in uplifting our communities, and share with us their journeys of resilience through the challenges that we, as Native Peoples, face.
In our conversation with Liz Medicine-Crow, President and CEO of First Alaskans Institute, she shares stories of her childhood, her journey pursuing her Juris Doctorate degree, and some background on FAI’s effort toward racial equity in Alaska.
In our very first interview, we have a conversation with elder Shirley Tuzroyluke about growing up in Juneau, what led her to dedicate her career advocating for Alaska Native/American youth education, and what being an elder in our community means to her.
