Abstract:
The Emmonak Dancers perform the ball song. Linell Burrell talks about the advisory group for the Alaska Native Magazine program, one fifth of the total population of Alaska being Native and no programs aimed specifically at the Alaska Native, Athabascan people or Eskimo people having little knowledge of the Southeast Indians and vice versa, the consumer committee for Alaska Native Magazine forming with the regional corporations that are under the ATS Satellite Project, the Calista Corporation, Chulista, Tanana Chiefs, the Cook Inlet Native Association, and the Southeast Indians, Fred Notti, Novan Charlie, Martin Strand, Ron Mallott, Dr. Doris Williams, Archie Goffschalk selection of the first six program's contents, meeting once a month to review program content and make suggestions for future directions of the Alaska Native Magazine, Moses Wassillie, a unique program because it is designed by Alaska Natives for Alaska Natives, and misconceptions that people in the lower forty-eight states have about Alaska. Cecelia Koontz talks about her people always believing that the soul of a person lives on after they die, the Orthodox priest telling them the same thing, her parents observing Lent and the belief the Indians had about fasting to cleanse your body and mind, the church not being as strict now, the name changing to the Orthodox Church of America, changes to rules in the church, Natives not joining the church until their leader joined the church, construction of the church in Juneau and the purchase of the property, changes in the church, belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church all her life, knowing all of her prayers and songs in Russian, singing all the songs in English now, hearing things in ones own language, and the marriage service in the Russian Orthodox Church.
