Context:

• Alaska is home to 229 of the total 566 federally

recognized Indian tribes!

• Alaska Natives/American Indian (alone) are

15.2% of the total Alaska population

• Disparities in health, education & social

determinants

• 1.2 persons per square mile
• Need for distance delivery – geography, rural

hubs not connected by road system

• Costs – air travel required, $1,200 RT
• Overnight required
• Weather – getting “weathered in;” extreme

cold/dark, climate change

• Need for Alaska-specific knowledge base, skills

and attitudes, e.g. ethics
