Art has a way of connecting us to the past, to stories, and to cultures that shape who we are. When I think about heritage art investments, I see more than just objects.

In my Yup’ik culture in Alaska, we called our creator Ellam Yua — the Person of the Universe. Our original elders, who lived in the natural way before outside influences arrived, often reminded us before they passed that the teachings of the Bible carried the same essence as the wisdom handed down by our ancestors. They did not realize it was Christ all along. In the end, all true wisdom flows from Ellam Yua — all‑knowing, all‑seeing, and holding all things in balance. Ella

The People’s Artist competition is a rare opportunity for artists to showcase their work on a national stage and compete for a significant $25,000 award.

The Alaska Customary Art Fair during the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention turned out to be so much more than I expected. All the artwork we made for Atsaq Art was sold out. This largest gathering of Natives from around the State wasn’t just a convention and art event—it became a space of shared emotion and resilience.
