Mending the Net: Alaska Native Elders Mentoring Elders 

Denakkanaaga is proud to partner with the University of Alaska to hold annual “Elders Mentoring Elders” culture camps. The camps teach participants traditional activities based on Athabascan values that include honoring ancestors, respect for knowledge, and wisdom from life experiences. Intergenerational transmission of cultural practices and way of life adds to our overall well-being and is an essential part of keeping the culture alive and thriving for generations to come. The goal of the camps is to create a space for those 50 years and older to learn traditional ways from other Elders. It is our hope that the participants will return home and teach others what they’ve learned to help carry on the Native ways.
