- The Alutiiq Museum (host) preserves and shares the heritage and living culture of the Alutiiq people. Our vision: Celebrating heritage through living culture. Our strategy: The Alutiiq Museum’s work spans the globe, but we have a deep commitment to the Kodiak Archipelago–the museum’s home and the geographic center of the Alutiiq world. We work diligently to involve people of all heritages in educational programming and original research–archaeological studies, language documentation, and collections investigations. By engaging everyone in the celebration of Alutiiq heritage, we reduce cultural isolation, reawaken cultural traditions, build intergenerational ties that broaden cultural understanding, and create a welcoming environment for discovery. We believe that rekindling cultural traditions also depends on the commitment and involvement of community organizations, agency partners, and supporters like you.
- The mission of The Kodiak Museum is to facilitate exploration of the natural, cultural, and artistic heritage of Kodiak Island and surrounding communities to create opportunities for the public to discover, share, and exchange knowledge using the collections and resources made available through the operation of the Kodiak History Museum.
