As the local salmon are hatching and growing, your children will have the opportunity to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Unalaska’s indigenous people. Children will learn about Unangan values, traditional arts, storytelling, and songs. Children will also go exploring outside and learn about the plant life of the island; what is edible, what is dangerous and what can be used medicinally.
