At a lively gala in Anchorage, the Kuwanik Broadcast Corporation unveiled its Kuwanik 2030 plan to keep Alaska Native stories alive on, air across the state. Facing cuts from federal and state budgets, the group aims to build more diverse funding streams and cut reliance on single sources for long-term stability. These express strong optimism, crediting community supporters who showed up in force, including the Anchorage Mayor and city assembly members. The event marked the 30th year of this key fundraiser, spotlighting Alaska Native artists and their creations amid a ballroom full of cultural displays.
