Thank you, John and Arlene, for your incredible dedication and hard work in reviving the passion for traditional Atuq and Aghula among the youth of Sivungaq. Your countless hours of volunteer teaching, passing down cultural knowledge, and inspiring our next generation are truly remarkable. Not only have you committed yourselves to educating our youth, but you also single-handedly raised the funds and orchestrated every detail of a complex trip, giving over 30 youth the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Anchorage and perform at AFN.
While many others have contributed to supporting these endeavors, you both have been the catalyst and the ongoing fuel behind it all. It could not have been done without your leadership, vision, and commitment. Your impact is profound, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the power and inspiration you’ve shared with our community
