Southcentral Foundation is hosting a free Traditional Foods Gathering July 27-28 at 4501 Diplomacy Drive in Anchorage, with in-person seats capped at 150 on a first-come basis and a virtual option available.

The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs unanimously approved eight bills Wednesday benefiting tribes in Massachusetts, Washington, Alaska, and California, even as members sharply criticized the administration's proposed budget cuts to tribal programs.

Southcentral Foundation's Traditional Healing Clinic at 4320 Diplomacy Drive is running at least four cultural classes this month, ranging from beadwork to a three-session kuspuk sewing series to a talking circle ceremony introduction on Wednesday.

The Anchorage Assembly is considering a land use plan amendment that would redesignate two Southcentral Foundation parcels in the Century Village subdivision from 'Neighborhood Center' to 'Main Street Corridor.' The change would not itself alter zoning but could support a later effort to remove a 40-year-old special limitation capping building heights at 25 feet.

Traditional Healing Clinic is running cultural education classes in late May and early June teaching Alaska Native language preservation, traditional food preparation, and craft skills. The programming addresses cultural continuity concerns raised by tribal communities.

The Alaska Native Heritage Center is coordinating traditional food donations for families displaced by Typhoon Halong. Donors can deliver subsistence foods to the Anchorage campus using designated drop-off windows.
