Alaska Native Culture
The first people to inhabit Alaska have a rich history of tradition and lifestyle that enabled them to survive the unique challenges of living in the northern latitude. Challenges remain today, as the many native groups' transition to the modern world while seeking to retain their ancient customs and important cultural values.
