Combining present
day art with traditional
methods, Hanna Sholl's
work with animal skin
sewing, beading, acrylic
paint, and other
mediums honor the
resistance and creativity
of her Alutiiq ancestors,
speaking up and out
against the ways her
culture has previously
been depicted; now with
new, authentic light.

As both a national
and internationally-
published photographer,
Brian Adams shares the
reality of Alaska Native
lives across the world.
Through his work, he
breaks through
stereotypes of not only
his Iñupiat siblings and
Elders, but of the remote
lifestyles adopted across
the state.

the first Tlingit woman
to win the Caldecott
Medal for her storybook
illustrations, she's the
first Native American
to do so. As a watercolor
artist from Juneau,
Goade works with
Indigenous authors and
tribal organizations all
over North America
to amplify traditional
Indigenous stories.

Drew Michael is an artist,
Yup'ik mask maker, and
lifelong Alaskan from
Bethel. Growing up
adopted, however,
Michael was separated
from his heritage—until
he found mask making
as a way to not only
connect with his art,
but with his culture.
