About
Cultural education we know for a fact that native children do better academically when they know who they are--when they are familiar with their history, language, and culture. Sealaska Heritage works with universities, school districts, tribes, and other educational institutions throughout the region and the lower 48 to teach people about Southeast Alaska native cultures, as evaluations have shown that integrating culture into schools has improved academic achievement. SHI also promotes early literacy in Alaska native children, publishes children's books, offers summer camps, and operates a native language program. SHI also develops teaching materials, including books and curriculum resources, and provide professional development to train teachers to use our materials and on cultural orientation. Sealaska Heritage Institute provides scholarships to Alaska natives who are Sealaska shareholders and descendants for college, university, vocational schools and technical schools.
