Explore our collection of NNA-produced resources that can be used to learn more about Arctic science and the communities and cultures that call the Arctic home. These resources are intended for a general audience and can be used by students in a classroom, or by families and adults outside of a classroom. The search filters function as follows:
- We have connected each resource with one or more key polar literacy principle
- We have adapted the Alaska Standards for Culturally Responsive Schools to align the resources with the following guidelines:
- A - The resource reinforces the integrity of the cultural knowledge that students and individuals bring with them
- B - Cultural knowledge is recognized as part of a living and constantly adapting system, grounded in the past, but which continues to grow through the present and into the future.
- C - Local language and local knowledge is foundational to the resource
- D - A complementary relationship is fostered across knowledge from diverse knowledge systems
- E- Local knowledge and actions are situated in a global context
The culturally responsive standards presented here are not meant to be exhaustive, but merely as a means of identifying resources that meet the cultural needs of learners. Read more about these standards, what they mean in practice, and how to adapt them to fit local needs at the Alaska Native Knowledge Network.
