Our
Beginning
The Alutiiq Museum grew from the Kodiak Area Native Association’s
(KANA) Culture and Heritage program. In 1987, the KANA Board of
Directors resolved that the exploration and celebration of Alutiiq
heritage was essential to the health of Alutiiq people. They initiated
a set of heritage programs to promote awareness of Alutiiq history,
language, and arts. In 1993 KANA received a $1.5 million grant from
the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council to develop a
state-of-the-art repository and regional research facility. The Alutiiq
Museum & Archaeological Repository opened to the public in May
1995.

Our
Mission
The Alutiiq Museum’ preserves the cultural traditions of the Alutiiq people and promotes greater
public awareness of the rich cultural legacy of all the indigenous
societies of the Alaskan Gulf coast. In pursuit of these goals, the
museum collects and preserves archaeological, ethnological, and
archival materials from the Alutiiq Nation in a repository that is
accessible to the public. The museum supports research on Alutiiq
culture and history, and shares the results through exhibits,
publications, and presentation.
