Community engagement and collaboration

For over 20 years we have worked with partners to provide hands-on educational summer programming for youth in Unalaska, St. Paul Island, and Sand Point. While we may be inviting kids onboard the Research Vessel Tiglax̂ for a ship tour, building ORV's, or learning bird identification skills, other instructors are teaching traditional ways of knowing including the Unangam Tunuu language, building and using tools and regalia, and practicing hunting and fishing and food preparation skills.
