Arctic Sports Hall-of-Famer Kyle Ḵaayák’w Worl, SJ Museum staff and October Artist-in-Residence, Youth Advocates of Sitka, Sitka Sound Science Center staff & interns, MEHS students & alums, SHS Barkarda Filipino Culture Club, and the director, faculty and staff of UAS Sitka. And many more! Gunalchéesh to all – it would not have been possible without you!
