The very first online issue of First Alaskans Magazine is now live!

We enter a new way of bringing you the Alaska Native people, issues, policies, recipes, art, commentary, photographs, and so much more goodness with excitement. And as we explore our new platform, we hope you'll enjoy new forms of media we will be able to include, such as videos and interactive content.

Eventually we will continue to print hard copies of the magazine, but in this COVID-era, we felt this was the safest - and also the most inclusive - way to ensure we can still bring you the stories and images of Alaska's people.

Gunalchéesh, chin'an, quyana for all your patience, understanding, and creativity!
