LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Nanook Diversity & Action Center and all of its partners acknowledge the Alaska Native nations upon whose unceded traditional lands we are located. The University of Alaska Fairbanks' main campus is located on Troth Yeddha, a sacred site of the Lower Tanana Dene people. We acknowledge and honor the ancestral & present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories. To learn more about the indigenous heritage of the land in which you are currently located, we encourage you to begin by clicking on the link below.

NDAC joins the UAF and Fairbanks community in the remembrance and celebrations of Black history in Alaska and across the nation.

This year, we dedicate our Black History Month celebration to bell hooks and her legacy. Her work continues to inspire generations of artists, activists, and scholars across the globe.

Celebrate Black is about embracing the richness and beauty of Black culture in all of its expression. Throughout this month, we will host events that center Black joy, art and experiences.
