A Unique Voice,
A Unique Publication

First Alaskans Magazine is like no other Alaska publication.

In every issue we give our readers in-depth stories and information from the perspective of Alaska Native peoples. We write about issues like no one else can —through the worldview of the land’s original peoples.

From issues of self-governance, self-determination, education, industry, and leadership along with coverage of Alaska Native arts and culture happenings in the state, First Alaskans tells the story of what is happening, why, and how it matters—to all Alaskans.
