“431 projects advanced, 403 of those were for implementation, 28 were for planning, and that represents 224 unique organizations. We saw a range of project sizes. The largest share of the projects requested or identified that they would be requesting between $250,000 and $1 million, but we did advance projects across the full spectrum of funding levels.”Alaska Dept. of Health: RHTP Advisory Council (July 1, 2026) · Jul 1, 2026

“one of the first observations is really that the scale of interest in this program and organizations that are ready to engage— we knew that this was going to be a transformative and incredibly impactful opportunity for the state, and the interest that we saw and the engagement that we saw far exceeded our expectations and really does reflect the substantial statewide demand.”Alaska Dept. of Health: RHTP Advisory Council (July 1, 2026) · Jul 1, 2026

“I would anticipate that those, those subawards would, would be executed in August depending on, you know, what degree of question or back and forth or refinement we need to have. So just want to share that. But we, you know, anticipate that the implementation awards will begin again later this summer. And for the first performance period, organizations should plan to complete their project activities and expend their awarded funds by June 30th, 2027.”Alaska Dept. of Health: RHTP Advisory Council (July 1, 2026) · Jul 1, 2026

“following that individual project-level evaluation, the department leadership will complete a portfolio-level review, which is where we're sort of checking for that, that broader, more sort of puzzle aspect to the applications, making sure that all of the projects fit together, that there is even distribution across the state, that we're meeting the biggest needs and serving all populations as much as we can.”Alaska Dept. of Health: RHTP Advisory Council (July 1, 2026) · Jul 1, 2026

“I will focus on past and contemporary connections on relationality. Food is a perfect subject to talk about that because sharing a meal with family and/or with friends with friends is a good way to connect to each other and to develop relationality. Tlingit have a well-known saying, you know, 'When the tide is out, the table is set,' because you can gather cockles, clams, etc.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026

“Native traditional foodways are under pressure nowadays Federal and state regulation, climate deregulation, competition with the commercial sector, and with also sport hunting and fishing, evolution of ways of life, which is something which is normal, you know, all have a negative impact on traditional foodways. Even so, natives really care about these traditional foods. They say that it's good for you, that it's healthy, and that it's healing too.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“Transporting this concept and mixing it with Édouard Glissant's idea of archipelago, I propose to develop the notion of archipelago of connections. Speaking of an archipelago of connections can help us to conceptualize what I have already developed in this lecture about holistic traditional foodways and multi-species communities.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“Salmon, berries, herring eggs, Hollywood are the connectors between people on families, on friends, and also past and future generations. By this way, it's not possible to oppose bad spread-out networks and good multi-fibers one. Networks are never a problem by themself. It's the basis on which they are built and the way we use them that define what they can be.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026

“Long durée processes of co-evolution between humans and other species, detailed knowledge gained from observing species behavior and ecosystems functioning, multi-species communities,, and land-stream-ocean continuum, all of these create deep networks of connections.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“I've discovered the importance of transmission of Tlingit culture and traditional foodways among generations. I also began to discover the fact that these traditional foodways embrace a deep spiritual dimension. This spiritual dimension joins together past, present, and future and concerns the relationship with natural species.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“Traditional foods and foodways broadly correspond to what is called subsistence food or subsistence practices. In federal and state regulations. Native people in Alaska consider that hunting, fishing, and gathering are central to who they are.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“What I witnessed and gradually became aware of is the existence of a vast archipelago of multidimensional and cyclical connections of deep networks of attachment, a world in itself, reversing the taken-for-granted relationship between centers and peripheries. What I also witness and experience is the profound dedication of native people here in Southeast Alaska to perpetuate and enhance this multidimensional living heritage, even if it is fragilized by local regional, national, or globalized forces.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“one can consider that what I have described about traditional food corresponds to the notion of dense social ecological networks developed by this French scholar. These networks are made up of multi-species and are crisscrossed by multidimensional connections between humans and between humans and the living world.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“When elders in Huna are offered, offered goose eggs from Glacier Bay, the most important thing is not the protein in the yolk. It is the fact that these goose eggs provide spiritual and cultural nourishment. As this example shows, one of the most important means to create multi-fiber connections through traditional foodways networks is sharing.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026
Renaud Chandivert
“It seems to me that the archipelago paradigm and this idea of relationality perfectly fit with what I wanted to develop in this lecture and also correspond quite well to Southeast Alaska geographical, the Alexander Archipelago, cultural, spiritual, political, and also political context.”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026

“How could traditional foodways— I prefer to use this expression rather than subsistence, which is rightfully very controversial— help us to go beyond basic oppositions between spirituality and materiality, between land and ocean, between animals and human beings, between keeping and giving, between the self and the other?”Sealaska Heritage Institute: Lecture: AN "ARCHIPELAGO OF CONNECTIONS" AND A LIVING HERITAGE | Sealaska Heritage · Jul 1, 2026

“you'll notice on both of these rods I'm using a steel leader. Pike have sharp teeth, they'll easily cut through either braided or monofilament line. They're real important for keeping your lures attached.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“even though I'm using barbless hooks because we're catch and releasing fish today, um, having a pair of pliers is still really helpful with their bony mouths. Even barbless hooks don't always want to come out real easily. The lures we're using today have all had single hooks. I find it's easier to release fish with them and I do less damage to fish's mouths.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“Most commonly, folks will be using a spinning rod and reel. Generally, rods that are 6 to 8.5 feet long work just fine. Personally, I prefer to use a baitcaster.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“both of these reels are loaded with 30-pound braided line. Monofilament line will work just fine as well. However, I prefer the braided line because it has less stretch and it's thinner diameter.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“In Alaska, northern pike are native to areas north of the Alaska Range, including the interior, western and southwestern Alaska, and the North Slope. South of the Alaska Range, through illegal introductions, pike have become established as an invasive species. However, wherever you find pike in Alaska, they're a phenomenal sport fish species and well worth your time to fish for.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“Broadly, you can define the lures as either a surface lure or subsurface. We're going to talk about the subsurface lures first. Most people think of using a red and white spoon, or a real common pike fishing lure is a weedless spoon.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“Keeping them in the water as much as we can, and rubber landing nets are real nice on them. They don't take the slime off as bad and they're gentle.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“Typically, the larger a pike is, the more willing, the more often they'll use more open water with less cover, because once they get to be in the 10-pound, 30-inch size range, they're pretty safe from other predators. Smaller pike tend to stick closer to the shoreline and in heavier cover.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“a lot of scales grab fish by their jaws or by their snout or by their gills. And for these bigger fish especially, that can cause some internal damage as the weight of the fish is pulling on it. So a safer way that's easier on the fish is to keep them in the net bag. And this is where having a rubber net or a knotless mesh net is, uh, really beneficial.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“For anglers looking to improve their chances at catching large pike. Getting away from the road system into more remote areas is going to increase your chances to find large fish. Minto Flats is a great pike fishery. It has almost unlimited opportunity.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“you can twitch it and jerk it along, use some long pauses and let it slowly sink. Pike really like that slow sink with these softer lures.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026
Matt Albert
“Pike definitely orient towards structure, be it the shoreline or sunken trees or weed beds or lily pads. They like having some cover because they're primarily an ambush predator. Generally, they're sitting and waiting or moving really slowly, hunting for food.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“Northern pike are a great sport fish because of their aggressive strikes and the V-wakes that they make as they're following lures in.”Alaska Fish & Game: How to Fish for Northern Pike · Jul 1, 2026

“So this will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built. I said to Boeing, "What's the best one?" They said, "This is the best plane ever built." And you're going to have the privilege of flying it, and I have a privilege also of flying it. But this is the first flight. We're going to the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library.

“Well, of course, very little relative to what it would cost if we did it a different way. So this was a gift from a country that's treated us very well.

“this is a plane that the United States of America should have our Air Force One was 35, 36 years old, and it would be parked next to the new ones like this, and it really didn't look appropriate for our country. So we're very proud of this.”White House: President Trump Gaggles with Press at Joint Base Andrews, Jul. 1, 2026 · Jul 1, 2026
Donald Trump
“So the head of Boeing said this is considered the best 747 they've ever built. And I went to Qatar. I said, I'd like to use it for a period of time because the other ones, as you know, are under construction. They'll be here in 2 years. And because, you know, the plane is 35 years old.”White House: President Trump Gaggles with Press at Joint Base Andrews, Jul. 1, 2026 · Jul 1, 2026
Donald Trump
“I said, who has the best one? They said, Qatar. There's no— there's never been a plane like it. Frankly, we couldn't build a plane like this because we wouldn't be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollar.”White House: President Trump Gaggles with Press at Joint Base Andrews, Jul. 1, 2026 · Jul 1, 2026

“So I said, "I'd like to use it." And the Emir Tamim, who's a great gentleman, he said, "No, no, I'd like to make a contribution to the country." So it was very nice. And we were able to do it in about 5 months— you know, bring it up to the presidential standard, meaning security-wise.”White House: President Trump Gaggles with Press at Joint Base Andrews, Jul. 1, 2026 · Jul 1, 2026

“When I decided that I wanted to make a button robe, I knew I was going to be creating the beaded piece first because that's the greatest amount of time. And without the beaded piece, I could do the robe, but it's just a robe. It doesn't have the spirit.
