“The Alaska Native Lan-guages courses are the reason I chose to attend UAS. I have noticed my ear is better tuned for hearing specific sounds and words. I have improved drastically in my Tlingit transcrip-tions.”

Pathways to a successful career with the UAS Alaska Native Languages program
he University of Alaska Southeast is looking for a few good students! If you want to do something real, if
you want to help make a difference, check out the UAS Alaska Native Languages pro-gram! Students can learn and help docu-ment endangered languages of Southeast
Alaska, including the Tlingit and Haida languages, and keep them alive for future generations.
The rewards are spiritual and also financial. First of all, it feels good. The languages are challenging, exciting and different. It feels good to learn them. For
students of Alaska Native ancestry, this is a way to connect with the heritage language of your ancestors. For non-Native learn-ers, it is a way to connect to the land and people of Southeast Alaska. The program can lead to jobs in teaching and research.
TWe will open again this container of wisdom left in our care.
