Quyanaa minarluta – Thank you for giving (to us)

Many people, organizations, and agencies invested in the Alutiiq Museum in 2023. We extend our most sincere appreciation for their generosity and the commitment to preserving and sharing Alutiiq heritage that it represents.

In 2023, we moved the Alutiiq Museum Store to the Kodiak Marketplace with support from RurAL CAP and the Kodiak Community Foundation.

In 2023, we created trail signs for Woody Island with support from the Tangirnaq Native Village.

In 2023, we hosted beading workshops in Kodiak, Old Harbor, and Port Lions with support from the Alaska Community Foundation, KANA, the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor, and the Native Village of Port Lions.
