As summer solstice suffuses Alaska with energy and light – and a lot of lightning strikes – we’re excited to share stories of growing connections and bolts of insight. This piece in Orion Magazine describes the dynamic super-connecting organ called the interstitium, and how we can model our work in similar interconnected ways. Author Jennifer Brandel writes, “Just as scientists can now see the interstitium everywhere they look, I see these people everywhere who are bridging, connecting and serving as conduits, keeping systems in communication, operable, healthy.”
This month, we’re spotlighting work doing just that. You’ll learn about a unique exchange program between Indigenous Peoples reclaiming stewardship and sovereignty from Savoonga to Nunavut; AVF staff on expert panels discussing financing renewable energy projects in rural Alaska; and how Indigenous leaders are reshaping connections and shifting power between Tribes and the federal government.
At AVF, we strive to cultivate and celebrate the vital and generative connections that sustain us – including our connections with all of you. Feeling inspired to reach out? We’d love to hear from you.
