Bringing Native Life to the Library

On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, the Lawrence Public Library hosted a Native American Heritage Month celebration from 1:30 to 2:30p.m. in the Lawrence Public Library auditorium.

Where the Land Speaks: Visiting Alaska’s First People

Brandon Colbert | November 7, 2025 | Travel Features

Getting to visit Anchorage, Alaska, for a week is not long enough to see all the beautiful sites, but getting to see some of this wonderful state, has allowed me to learn more about the Alaskan Natives and be able to bond and connect with them. We as Indigenous people in the United States all have been wronged, land stolen, children sent to boarding schools, and even tried to make us extinct, but one thing is for sure is that we are strong, we are beautiful, and we are still here fighting for our land, language and cultures. I for one am very happy I got to spend a few days connecting with our Alaskan Native brothers and sisters.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — I had the honor of witnessing Alaska Native men and women came together to play in a five-day basketball tournament at the Moseley Sports Center, located at Alaska Pacific University. The event featured three different brackets — men’s, men’s 35-plus, and women’s — and consisted of more than 30 teams from all over Alaska representing their villages.

Career Services Offers One-on-One Help Ahead of Entrepreneur Summit

Knowing whether your resume fits a prospective job or after a long gap between interviews and not sure what you need to work on can be difficult and there is conflicting information online for what to do in preparation. Many students may not know where to start and it can be overwhelming especially with so much on the line when it comes to a job interview. Fortunately, Haskell’s Career Services held a career prep event in the library for all students to attend. In this preparation fair students could get their resumes reviewed, edited or created from scratch and tailored to a specific field of interest. The event served as a valuable tool for students seeking jobs or preparing to enter their field of interest with their best foot forward and have their resume to show their accomplishments accurately and professionally.
