Video: Lt. Gov. Mallott talks about the canoe journey, first Celebration

“It’s a continuing effort to strengthen who Native people are as Native people,” Alaska Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott said. “This voyage for many has a particular focus on the revitalization of Alaska Native language and of course it’s all having to do with coming together at Celebration here in Juneau which was began by Sealaska in 1982 and which continues today held every two years.”

Editor’s note: 360 North is under contract with Sealaska Heritage Institute to produce television and online video coverage of Celebration.
