Hello! 


Wooch.een has some exciting things planned for the future! 

We are pleased to inform you that there is a bill going through the Senate which will support the revitalization of Alaska Native languages! We are going to show our very strong support for this bill by writing letters and talking to our senators, and we are also planning on testifying at the hearing for this bill! And, we encourage all of you to do the same! Keeping our language alive is vitally important to our culture, so let's make our voices heard and get this bill passed.

Just a reminder, Elizabeth Peratrovich Day is right around the corner, so put it in your calendars! There is going to be a big event in celebration on February 15th, the day before Elizabeth Peratrovich Day. We'll post some more details about that in a later blog. Wooch.een also has some big plans in the works for this special day, but you're just going to have to wait and see! 

On February 17th, we are be going to have a fundraising dinner. We will let you in on all the details very soon, so clear your schedules!

On March 3rd, is the annual Oratory competition! So, all interested participants should get down to work and start practicing! There is even an oratory class this semester taught by the amazing Lance Twitchell! So, if you really want to be prepared, register today!

Also, Goldbelt is going to be sponsoring a 3-credit course on Ethnographic Filming. They are even planning to have some guest speakers in!

Thanks for reading! We'll continue to update this blog every week, so tell your friends! Or, better yet, come join the party and attend our weekly meetings. Every Friday from 4-5!

Gunalchéesh!
