Please join us! The Gana-A’Yoo team is hosting a Shareholder/Descendant Open House at our Anchorage office on Thursday, October 19 from 12:00 – 2:00 pm.  Come for the tour of our new office space, to spend time with fellow shareholders/descendants, and to get to know your Gana-A’Yoo team. There are cash door prizes and lunch will be provided!

If you can’t make it but would still like to participate, we would love to display your themed photo (and/or message) in a special slideshow that will play during our two-hour event on the first day of the 2023 AFN Convention!

Because the theme of this year’s Convention is “Our Way of Life” (honoring Alaska Natives’ traditional practices), our photo slideshow also follows that theme. Show how proud you are of your subsistence traditions by sending in your favorite photo representing our treasured traditional ways of life – if you’d like to add a note for an Open House attendee to see, send that to us too! We are excited to hear from you: What does “Our Ways of Life” means to you?

If you’d like to showcase your photo and a message, please send them directly to [email protected]. Please submit: 1. as many of your subsistence-themed photos as you’d like, 2. the photographer’s name, 3. brief photo description (location, etc), 4. and (optional) any message you’d like to share with our Open House attendees! Thank you so much for considering this request!
