A
Thank
you
all
and,
as
I
said
before,
I'm
sorry
on
our
friends
online
as
well.
Thank
you.
I
A
Also
attending
electronically,
as
I
said
before,
the
big
goal
is
just
to
clean
out
the
agenda
leftover.
Whatever
items
are
from
last
year,
so
I
will
absolutely
hold
this
within
the
hour
and
start
with
item
v1,
safe
and
secure
storage
of
firearms
education.
H
That,
mr
chair,
I
would
I'd
I'd
like
to
start.
This
is
a
resolution
brought
forth
by
members
bellamy,
lessons
and
wilson
and
it's
to
require
education
on
the
safe
and
secure
storage
of
firearms.
H
So
I'm
I'm
hoping
everyone
has
read
it
and
basically
what
this
resolution
will
do
is
direct
a
superintendent
to
distribute,
be
safe,
gun
safety,
storage
information.
H
That
information
has
previously
been
shared
with
the
with
the
board,
and
it
would
also
continue
our
partnerships
with
our
partners,
our
community,
to
make
sure
that
gun
the
safe
storage
of
guns
is
a
shared.
H
That
information
is
shared
among
our
students
in
our
community
and
and
also
to
put
the
information
that
the
superintendent
would
distribute
the
information
in
our
usual
manner,
which
includes
that
in
different,
I
think
the
five
or
six
languages
that
we
that
we
do
so
I
kelly
did
you
want
to
make
some
opening
comments?
I
don't
is
dora
in
the
room.
I
can't
remember
if
I
heard
dora's
name:
it's
not!
Okay,
member
lessons,
your
your
comments
before
we
answer
questions.
Thank
you.
F
Member
bellamy
for
bringing
this
to
the
table
a
couple
of
quick
points
of
clarification.
There
are
a
couple
of
statistics
specific
to
the
anchorage
school
district
and
those
come
directly
from
the
latest
youth
risk,
behavior
survey,
which
is
stated
in
2019.
F
So
I
have
a
note
here
about
check
the
yrbs,
and
indeed
those
are
anchorage
high
school
student
rates,
so
40
percent
of
our
students
report
they
could
get
and
be
ready
to
fire
a
loaded
gun
and
the
statistic.
Suicide
does
reflect
a
2019
date
because
there
is
no
more
current
information
that
I'm
aware
of,
but
I
think
that
encouraging
our
think
partnering
with
our
families
encouraging
them.
You
know
we
have
so
many
hunters
keep
those
things
locked
up
safely
as
a
smart,
reasonable
thing
to
do.
C
C
C
From
a
security
point
of
view,
and
also
because
I
think
you
know,
the
vast
majority
of
our
kids
are
very
responsible
and
I
don't
want
to
deny
legitimate
access
to
firearms
for
practice
and
training,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
resolution,
but
I'm
also
disappointed.
We
haven't
moved
forward
with
a
more
comprehensive
gun
safety
program
like
eddie
eagle,
which
has
really
proven
to
be
effective.
F
A
C
H
Yes,
I
I
you
know,
the
intent
of
the
resolution
is
not
too
compelled
it
is
to
give
information
to
our
community
to
our
kids,
our
families,
so
what
individuals
choose
to
do
with
it
is
really
up
to
them.
We're
not.
This
is
not
to
compel
anything
or
provide
or
alter
the
curriculum
in
any
way,
but
it
is
to
get
information,
safety,
gun,
storage,
safety
into
the
hands
of
our
families.
H
So
there
were
no
curricular
imp,
implementations
or
provisions
in
this
particular
resolution.
Just
wanted
to
make
that
clear,
and-
and
I
would
so
I
would-
and
I
would
move
would
like
to
move
that.
Oh
I
guess
I
can't
do
that,
because
I'm
just
ex
officio,
but
I
would
like
to
see
this
moved
out
of
committee
into
our.
A
I
was
just
gonna
add
we
don't
normally
attach
fiscal
notes,
but
I
don't
see
anything
in
this.
That
would
actually
cost
us
additional
money,
we're
facilitating
the
transfer
of
documents
and
whatnot
in
reference
to
never
donnelly
yeah.
A
I
I
think
what
happened
is
over
the
past
couple
of
decades,
we've
just
seen
staff
trend
a
little
bit
every
year
and
the
class
I
brought
up
about
100
safety
used
to
be
in
some
stores,
and
it
directly
addressed
the
department
of
efficient
games
requirement
for
younger
members
to
have
gone
through
something
like
that.
Of
course,
it
included
gun
safety,
familiarity
with
wild
laws
and
all
kinds
of
things
there.
A
C
Mr
chairman,
yes,
you
know,
we
we've
been
building
this
our
third,
you
know
we
have
the
three
priorities:
reading
mathematics
and
a
whole
person,
somebody
being
you
know,
ready
for
citizenship,
right
person
and
I
think
the
kind
of
things
that
you've
expressed
interest
in
kind
of
fit
within
that
whole
person
concept
and
right
now,
we've
mostly
been
exploring
financial
personal
financial
responsibilities
as
a
component.
In
that
whole
person
concept
already,
you
know
ready
ready
for
life.
C
A
I
The
committee
members
in
favor
of
passing
it
to
the
board,
seeing
no
objections.
Then
it
is
passed
to
the
board.
B
The
following
policy
review
is
put
off
until
the
next
meeting,
with
the
request
of
mr
clifford.
That
brings
us
to
the
land
acknowledgement.
Now
that
was
just
for
the
41
yeah.
F
F
Member
lessons:
do
you
want
to
speak
to
this
sure
this
was
yeah
when,
when
we
brought
up
these
three
items
at
the
previous
governance
committee
meeting,
it
occurred
to
me
that
although
the
intent
and
the
language
is
generally
good,
fine,
adequate,
it
may
not
be
aligned
with
the
goals
and
guardrails
that
we've
adopted.
So
this
was
my
attempt
to
realign
when
bp
000
realign.
F
I
didn't
change
any
philosophy
items
like
the
idea
of
a
goal.
The
idea
of
an
objective-
that's
the
first
one,
the
second
one
was
pp0200
goals
for
the
school
district.
And
again
I
tried
to
draft
something
that
would
speak
to
the
framework
that
we
have
of
goals
and
guardrails
and
the
third
item
bpo2
10,
simply
changed
goals
to
objectives
for
student
learning,
because
those
are
less
measurable.
F
We
have
our
measurable
board
goals,
and
these
are
really
more
of
the
objective
and,
I
did
add,
an
item
three
to
mastery
of
basic
skills
and
working
knowledge.
I
did
list
statistics
civics
and
digital
literacy.
I
thought
those
were
three
items
to
call
out
in
particular,
and
I
also
on
item
five
added
that
it's
important
to
promote
creative
thinking.
In
addition
to
logical
and
critical
thinking,
so
those
were
my
suggestions,
I'm
happy
to
entertain
board
discussion
on
any
of
those
three
items
that
they're
grouped
together.
H
Yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
member
lessons.
I
absolutely
agree
with
your
changes.
I
would
like
to
have
us
consider.
H
Can
you
scroll
back
up
to
the
the
gold,
the
top
where
we
define
gold?
What
it
means
refers
to
a
specific
okay,
he
did
say
measurable,
which
means
it
has
to
be
smart
right.
Yes,
I
didn't
use
the
word.
F
H
H
So,
yes,
I
did
make
sure
that
I
had
missed
that
piece
in
there.
So
that's
great
yeah
and
then
the
other.
H
I
think
I'm
fine
with
all
the
others.
It
does
put
us
in
better
alignment
with
what
we're
actually
doing
and
so
yeah.
I
think
they're
very,
I
think,
they're
reasonable.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
any
other
wordsmithing
to
do,
but
I'm
good
with
what
what
you
what
you
presented.
Thank
you.
F
C
E
H
H
But
I
see
I
I
understood,
I
understand
what
you
the
for
instance,
that
you
were
putting
there,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
want
that
last
sentence,
okay
and
in
there.
But
that's
just
me
because
that's
going
to
change
and
it
won't
change
for
five
years.
Well
hopefully,
but
it
is,
it
will
potentially
change,
and
I
don't
know
that
so
I
think,
or
you
could
put
something
like
the
board's
adopted
goals.
F
D
F
I
think
that,
as
we
consider
what
a
21st
century
education
needs
to
entail,
our
students
must
be
nimble
and
they
are
going
to
have
they're
not
going
to
have
careers
in
a
linear
way,
they're
going
to
be
moving
they're
going
to
be
moving
from
idea
to
idea,
project
to
project
and
that
you
know
we
talk
about
developing
the
ability
to
think
outside
the
box,
so
by
all
means
I
want
our
students
to
be
logical
and
critical,
but
also
creative,
and
I
think
that
also
speaks
to
you
know.
Our
fine
arts,
for
example,.
C
I
support
this.
My
only
comment
is
not
something
with
what
you're
doing,
but
I
might
move
in
number
three
under
210.
I
might
move
reading
ahead
of
mathematics
because
it
is
our
adopted
target,
so
it
would
say,
reading
mathematics
and
then
go
on
to
the
other
list
of
things,
and
I
know
it's
really
minor.
It's
there,
but.
H
So
I
I
can
start
and
now
then
I'll
I'll
cut
to
member
jacobs-
and
I
do
I
do
want
to
thank
members,
lessons
and
donnelly
for
taking
time
to
send
in
your
comments.
We
were
not
able
to
address
all
of
them
in
our
in
the
in
this
second
draft.
The
draft.
That's
the
20,
that's
the
wrong
draft,
I'm
sorry
it
should
be
8
23.
F
H
And
so-
and
I
I
do
understand
so
thank
you
for
your
input.
My
my
comments
are
that
this
is
for
me
this
is
not
a
an
intent
to
be
political
in
any
way.
H
The
intent
is
to
provide
our
students
with
the
and
our
staff
with
the
opportunity
you
know
to
learn
to
to
to
be
in
touch
with
our
history
in
ways
that
are,
you
know
that
are
beneficial
to
and
inclusive
for
all
of
our
kids.
This
is
not
about
my
land
or
your
land,
and
I'm
sorry
that
that
is
a
perception
out
there
and
we-
probably
it
probably
will
have
to
give
some
thought
to
how
to
address
that.
H
But
this
is
about
alaska's
history
for
all
of
us
and
it's
also
about
being
respectful
of
the
land
that
we
occup,
that
we
occupy
and
we
share.
So
it's
not
that
the
intent
of
this
is
not
to
diminish
ownership
or
to
to
to
diminish
how
we
celebrate
and
respect
indigenous
people.
It's
that's!
That's!
The
intent
is
not
to
it's
to
celebrate
that
it's
to
elevate
it.
H
It's
not
to
make
this
political,
so
I
am
not
thinking
of
this
as
a
political
thing
so
to
which
is
why
I
reached
out
to
last
year
in
2021,
I
began
having
conversations
with
local
elders
about
their
thinking
around
a
land
acknowledgement
and
how
it
would
how
how
they
thought
it
would
impress,
and
and
excite
our
students,
not
just
alaska
native
students,
all
of
our
students
when
we
are
learning
alaska
history,
it's
all
of
our
history-
it's
not
just
specific
to
native
emit
to
to
native
alaskans,
and
so,
but
we
are
in
alaska.
H
We
are
on
ancestral
lands
and
I
honor-
and
I
respect
that
and
I
think
our
students
will
honor
and
respect
that,
just
simply
for
what
it
is.
So
this
we
I
met
again.
So
then,
in
the
spring
earlier
in
the
spring
I
began
reaching
out
to,
and
you
may
recall,
board
board
members,
we
have
been
using
a
land
acknowledgement
now,
since
2019,
shortly
after
I
came
on
the
board,
a
member
marcet
started
using
a
land
acknowledgement,
and
so
this
is
not
new.
The
assembly
does
land
acknowledgements.
H
The
museum
has
done
outstanding
research
around
the
value
of
have
of
land
acknowledgement,
as
celebrating
it
as
part
of
our
shared
history.
So
this
is
where
I'm
coming
from.
With
this
recommendation,
I
was,
I
am
honored
to
have
partnered
with
member
jacobs,
I'm
honored
to
have
partnered
with
the
native
the
advisory
committee
who
who
actually
convened
a
task
force
to
help
us
with
this
work.
H
So
what
we
have
here
is
a
culmination
of
not
just
margo
bellamy
and
called
jacobs,
but
the
alaska
native
task
force
that
that
that
work,
that
that
was
part
of
the
native
advisory
committee,
and
I
thank
them
for
their
service,
which
is
why
I
did
ask
mr
mcdonald
to
be
here
today
because
he
what
he
he
was
part
of
that
task
force.
That
did
the
research
that
provided
the
references
in
this
document.
H
So
with
that
I'll,
stop
and
I'll
send
let
member
jacobs
have
his
conversation
and
then
we
can
go
from
there.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
don't
have
much
to
add,
so
I
want
to
share
my
appreciation
for
being
with
that
a
lot
to
partner
with
you
on
this
I
I
know
there
were
some
questions
about
kind
of
format
of
the
resolution
and
whether
or
not
the
footnotes
would
be
necessarily
beneficial.
E
Given
it's
a
little
different
from
how
many
of
our
resolutions
look
having
talked
through
the
topic
and
that
received
emails,
as
I'm
sure
you
have
as
well
a
few
from
the
public,
I
think
it's
actually
beneficial
to
have
as
much
information
as
possible
due
to
misconception
as
to
what
a
land
acknowledgement
actually
is.
E
E
E
H
Yes,
however,
the
chair
wants
to
proceed.
I
do
want
to
have
a
staff
input.
I
know.
Member
donnelly
has
shared
a
four-page
document
with
that
was
shared
with
you
last
night
and
you
shared
with
me,
and
he
may
want
to
express
some
get
some
clarity
around,
not
just
not
not
just
the
document
itself,
but
issues
that
he
had
with
my
the
way.
I
see
this
document
so
I'll
hand
it
back
to
the
chair
for
whatever
rotation
he
wants
to
do.
A
You
know
I'll
say
that
I
think
this
is
something
that
needs
to
come
before
the
whole
board,
and
it
wouldn't
surprise
me
if
there
are
proposed
changes
at
that
point.
So
if
people
do
have
changes,
they
feel
like
should
be
made
in
committee
by
all
means
bringing
forward
or
voice
support
or
lack
of
anyone
to
speak,
including
our
guests
as
well.
Your
comments
as
well.
A
Somebody
else
this.
C
Is
a
lot
better
than
what
I'd
ever
seen
before?
I
didn't
get
a
copy
of
this
before
this
meeting.
So
from
my
initial
review
of
it,
my
number
one
concern
still
remains
and
that's
the
resolution
seems
to
adopt
the
land
acknowledgement
without
us,
knowing
what
it
says
it
mandates
it
and
that
it
will
happen,
but
we
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
say
yet
and
I'm
very
concerned
with
that
something
this
important
being
utilized
as
an
official
statement
for
this
many
events
which
I
have
concerns
about.
C
Now,
if
this
is
a
commission
of
go
out
and
develop
a
proposal
for
the
board,
that
makes
sense
to
me,
but
if
this
is
adopting
something
that
we
don't
even
know
what
it
is
yet
or
specifically
where
it's
going
to
be
used,
because
this
is
vague
too,
but
where
it's
used?
That's,
that's.
That's!
That's
a
mistake.
C
C
And
I
I'm
not
I'm
not
implying
that
anybody
who's
suggesting
this
is
doing
so
for
a
political
reason,
but
I'm
glad
the
footnotes
are
out
of
here,
because
I
you,
I
spent
a
considerable
amount
of
time
looking
at
what
the
content
from
the
footnotes
were,
and
I
just
want
to
relay
some
of
the
things
that
the
footnotes
indicated
the
one
for
turning
dialogue
into
the
action
video.
C
C
So
so
you
can
see
why
a
lot
of
people
think
these
kinds
of
things
are
politics,
because
they
say
the
people
that
were
the
source
documents
for
the
preparation
of
this
decolonizing,
your
dialogue
and
I'm
really
glad
the
words
decolonization
are
not
used
in
this
resolution
for
all
kinds
of
reasons
that
I
spelled
out
in
my
memorandum
to
the
board
very,
very
concerning
to
use
that
language
and
then
and
one
of
the
the
citations
was.
C
Are
you
planning
a
land
acknowledgement
and
in
the
dialogue
on
that
it
was
conveyed
to
people
that
most
of
you
have
a
lifetime
of
unlearning
to
do
now?
If
anything
ever
sounded
like
political
propaganda
and
indoctrination
of
a
population
wow,
that's
it.
That
sounds
like
something
from
an
authoritarian.
C
You
know
regime
would
say
to
its
people
or
the
great
society
the
the
great
cultural
revolution
in
china.
You
have
a
lifetime
of
unlearning
to
do
that,
almost
like
a
quote
from
mao.
You
know
imprisoned
millions
of
chinese
to
teach
them
to
be
better
communists,
very
concerning
that
those
were
used
as
source
material
and
I'm
very
glad
they're
now
out
of
here.
C
So
I
still
think
this
is
untimely
to
adopt
a
policy
without
seeing
what
the
actual
language
is.
I
think
it
might
be
appropriate
to
say
we
want
to
develop.
One
adopted
resolution
say,
go
develop
one
and
bring
it
back
to
us
and
then
we'll
vote
on
what
you
know
when
how
and
if
to
use
it.
C
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
still
vague
as
to
how
it
will
be
implemented,
and
yet
it
says
it
shall
be-
is
troubling
and
in
particular,
as
to
implementation,
I'm
concerned
about
it
being
in
our
classrooms,
since
so
many
people
see
this
as
a
political
agenda,
including
the
citations
in
the
original
version,
saw
this
as
politics.
C
I'm
very
concerned
that
this
violates
our
policy
against
politics
in
the
classroom,
and
it
sets
a
particular
you
know
position
whether
the
folks
in
this
room
or
our
folks
saw
it
that
way,
not
implying
that
implying
that
a
lot
of
people
do
see
it.
That
way,
and
it's
going
to
be,
I
think,
really
unfortunate
if
this
becomes
some
sort
of
institutionalization
indoctrination
in
our
classrooms
and
what
about
free
speech?
What
about?
C
C
This
doesn't
say
anything
about
how
they
would
be
able
to
treat
this
land
acknowledgement
if
they
were
in
a
classroom
and
it's
being
force-read
to
them.
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
implication
here
that
this
would
get
expanded
to
intimidating
students,
to
read
it
or
to
agree
with
it
or
not,
say
their
personal
opinions
that
might
differ
from
it.
I'm
concerned
about
parents
that
may
disagree
with
it
and
yet
they'll
have
no
choice
but
to
have
their
children
in
this
classroom.
For
this
this
is
very
different
than
a
federal,
federally
adopted
or
state-adopted.
C
Traditional
customary
thing,
like
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
is
adopted
in
federal
law
or
the
national
anthem,
which
is
adopted
in
federal
law
or
the
state
flag
song
which
is
adopted
in
state
law.
This
is
different.
This
is
something
this
district's
developing
on
its
own
and.
D
C
Think
it's
completely
inappropriate
to
inject
it
into
our
classrooms
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
because
it's
political,
it
may
not
be
the
intent
of
any
individual
here,
suggesting
it
to
be
political,
but
it
is
perceived
as
political
and
that's
confirmed
even
by
the
footnotes
to
the
original
policy
and
what
was
stated
by
the
people.
You
know
that
they
were
the
resources
too,
so
I
find
that
really
it's.
It
violates
our
existing
policy
against
politics
if
it
gets
extended
into
classrooms.
C
It's
a
different
thing
when
it's
us
adults
out
there
in
a
public
meeting,
that's
a
whole
different
dynamic.
We
can
kind
of
take
care
of
ourselves,
but
I'm
very
concerned
about
our
kids
being
imposed
on
that
and
what
comes
next,
you
know
once
it's
in
the
classroom
and
has
to
be
recited
every
day
or
it
has
to
be
read
every
day,
who's
going
to
read
it
can
some
teacher.
Well.
Does
anybody
want
to
volunteer
to
read
it
today
and
now
they're
all
put
in
pressure
right
now?
C
It's
just
like
you
want
to
say
a
prayer
today
who
wants
to
lead
the
prayer
today
and
and
and
one
of
the
students
doesn't
want
a
prayer
right
well
now,
they're
intimidated
right.
Can
I
see
the
same
thing
happening
with
this
and
we
know
we
have
instructors
that
will
do
that.
We
know
that.
So
there
ought
to
be
something
in
here.
Clearly
that
says
children.
Our
students
shall
not
be
intimidated
to
agree
with
this
or
to
participate,
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
that.
C
Also
because
we
know
that's
going
to
happen
and
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
emails.
Just
the
last
week
of
stuff
going
on
in
our
classrooms
is
super
super
concerning
and
if
we
don't
think
this
actually
happens
out
in
classrooms,
you
know
that's
wrong,
it
does
it.
You
know
teachers
are
doing
this
kind
of
thing.
So
I
think
this
ought
to
be
revamped
into
a
resolution
that
says
we
want
to
go
out.
We
want
to
go
out
to
the
community
and
develop
a
proposal
and
then
come
back
as
a
resolution
adopts
a
specific
proposal.
A
H
A
Might
yes.
E
Thank
you
sure,
so,
just
a
couple,
quick
comments
I
didn't
hear.
I
think
I
heard
I
appreciate
the
comments.
I
think
I
in
all
of
that
I
heard
one
request
of
change
that
was
written
correctly
if
I'm
wrong,
and
that
was
your
lack
of
clarity
regarding
the
proposed
course
of
action.
E
The
language
that's
in
this
draft
specifically
indicates
that
the
administration
will
go
out
and
seek
to
collaborate,
drafting
a
land
acknowledgments.
I
think
what
is
missing.
That's
a
fair
point.
Is
that
a
plan
for
implementation
should
the
board
get
a
chance
to
review
the
finished
product?
I
think
that's
reasonable.
I.
E
An
added
sentence
at
the
very
end
and
the
last,
therefore,
which
states
something
to
the
effect
of
the
final
draft
land,
acknowledgements
and
plan
for
implementation
shall
be
presented
to
the
board
for
review
and
adoption,
whether
that
be
in
a
memorandum
or
an
administrative
regulation.
I
don't
have
a
preference
for,
but
I
would
say.
H
H
What
is
new
is
that
we're
trying
to
get
it
right
from
the
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
collaborate
with
with
the
eclipta
tribe
to
come
up
to
develop
an
appropriate
land
acknowledgement.
H
So
I'm
not
I
I
agree
having
it
come
back
for
the
board
to
approve,
I
think
yes,
I
mean
it
was
my
intent,
but
it
probably
should
be
written
into
the
the
actual
document
itself,
because
and
and
and
what
so
I
don't
know
what
that
will
look
like.
I
know
what
we
came
up
with
and
what
we
use
for
the
school
board.
H
I
know,
what's
already
on
our
website
that
wasn't
just
added
yesterday
or
last
week,
it's
been
there
and
and
and
and
for
principals,
who
want
to
use
it
they
have
been
using
it.
I
don't
think
I
attended
a
graduation
where
there
wasn't
a
land
acknowledgement.
H
I
don't
think
I
mean
even
our
our
student
advisory
board
have
feelings
about
this
particular
ceremony,
because
that's
what
it
is.
It's
a
ceremony
we're
celebrating
the
land
on
which
we
share.
I
don't
know
how
that
gets
to
be
political,
but
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
are.
You
know
that
we
are
creating
understanding
and
not
confusion.
That's
that's
where
we
need
to
be,
and
that's
where
I'd
like
for
us
to
be
as
a
board.
H
So
adding
the
comment
to
the
end
is
is,
is
great.
H
I
decided
to
leave
the
footnotes
in
because
I
wanted
the
board
to
because
they
were
shared
with
me
as
a
resource
after
we
had
our
draft
policy
not
before,
and
so
I
left
them
there
so
that
those
who
would
be
want
to
have
more
information
would
be
able
to
have
the
information,
but
I
also
think
that
some
of
the
the
the
footnoted
items
some
of
the
references
I
mean-
I
mean
they're
they're,
they
are
profound.
H
So
I'd
like
to
hear
from,
if
we
might
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
administration,
mr
chair
and
the
the
the
other
guests
in
the
room
who
are
from
the
who
work
with
with
with
the
native
advisory
committee,
the
task
force.
B
I
Carl
jacobs
met
yesterday.
We
as
a
department
are
in
fully
full
support
of
this
land
acknowledgement.
I
D
But
I
do
hear
you
know,
remember
donald's
concerns
that
the
citations
were,
as
I
said,
political
and
I'd
like
to
at
least
introduce
many
of
the
citations
mentioning
like
doctor.
I
had
it
here,
dr
debbie
reese
she's,
an
academic,
not
a
political
activist.
She
does
research
and
writes
papers
on
indigenous.
D
Much
because
there's
definitely
a
gray
area
between
where
academics
go
and
where
politics
begins.
I
think
it's
the
board's
responsibility
to
take
activist
type
pieces
and
create
something
that
can
fit
what
what
our
authority
is.
So
I
appreciate
trying
to
limit
the
bounce
of
authority
with
your
your
sentiments
here.
D
D
The
way
that
my
elders
teach,
that
acknowledgement
is
it's
an
authority,
it's
kind
of
an
honorific
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
legwork
that
will
have
to
do
with
administration
and
remember
jason's,
mentioning
this.
How
we
bring
knowledge
from
something
like
this.
All
the
way
down
into
the
administration
needs
to
be
really
intentional.
D
D
A
G
We're
parents,
I'm
obviously
not
white,
I'm
white,
but
my
wife
is
native,
so
our
kids
are
half
native
and
we
both
feel
that
this
is
extremely
condescending
to
our
kids.
When
there's
the
land
acknowledgement
that
happens
at
the
different
assemblies
and
things
invariably,
there's
parents
who
look
at
my
wife
look
at
my
children
and
look
at
them
like
they're,
less
than
their.
G
That
says
the
draft
that
came
out
talking
about
decolonization
and
to
say
that
that's
not
political,
you
start
talking
about
decolonization
and
returning
the
land.
When
you
read
some
of
the
footnotes
start
going
down
the
rabbit
hole
of
these
authors,
who
wrote
these
things?
It's
extremely
political,
I'm
proud
of
my
heritage,
my
wife's,
proud
of
her
heritage.
Our
children
are
proud
of
both
of
their
heritages,
and
this
does
nothing
other
than
a
swage.
I
You
guys
should
be
spending
time
on
it's
very
creative,
even
though
you're
saying
it's
not
it
is,
and
it
is
it's
embarrassing.
Every
time
I
hear
this
principle
announce
it
before
an
assembly.
I
cringe
because
people
look
at
you
like
I'm.
So
sorry
she
doesn't
need
your
pity.
I
don't
I'm
from
I'm,
not
a
native
of
alaska,
but
I
am
indian
from
arizona
I'm
half
navajo.
I
I
I
I
The
first
time
I
heard
it
like
I
said
I
cringed,
and
I
thought
what
is
going
on
here
what's
happening
if
you
want
to
talk
about
land
acknowledgement,
and
the
history
of
the
natives
here
have
classes
actually
bring
it
back
into
the
history.
History
classes
actually
talk
about
it.
How
about
have
presenters
come
into
the
classroom
into
the
school
and
demonstrate
something
from
their
tribe?
How
about
that?
I
G
I'm
born
and
raised
here
in
anchorage
I'm
a
product
of
the
school
district
and
I'm
actually
pretty
close
to
pulling
our
kids
out
and
just
doing
homeschooling,
because
I'm
so
fed
up
with
the
direction
of
the
english
school
district.
It
is
not
the
schools
that
I
grew
up
in
I
and
granted.
We
had
our
issues
going
through,
but
it's
it's
gone
so
far.
G
Reading
writing
math
history
and
I
wish
honestly,
I
thought
this
back
in
the
day
is
that
if
there
was
if
there
were
classes
about
our
actual
alaska
history
that
actually
went
into
the
native
history
and
all
through
all
that
I
would
love
those
classes,
but
it
wasn't
even
offered
back
when
I
was
so
I'm
glad
that
some
of
those
classes
are
available.
Now
I
I
you
know
I
grew
up.
I
was
probably
in
my
20s
before
I
discovered
that
people
were
you
know
the
ancestors.
G
I
wanted
to
learn
more.
I
love
going
to
the
museum
and
learning
more
from
from
there,
but
this
doesn't
do
anything
to
further
that
it
just
sorry,
I'm
going
to
say
it
again,
a
bunch
of
non-natives
sitting
on
a
board
who
feel
guilty
about
their
involvement
in
colonization
quote
your
ancestors
did
something
crappy
to
some
other
people's
ancestors.
G
G
I
I
F
C
Mr
chairman,
it's
really
hard
when
I
don't
even
have
a
copy
of
a
paper
copy.
I
I
designed
all
my
comments
based
on
what
I
had
and
it
didn't
come
out
until
this
morning,
and
I
would
I
would
have
crafted
in
writing
specific
to
fit
this
document
and
it's
I'm
sitting
here.
Writing
as
fast
as
I
can
trying
to
pick
up.
You
know
what
I
thought
was
from
where
I
thought
we
were
going
to
be
today
working
on,
but
this
the
other.
C
Understand
but
I
have
a
copy
for
you
printing
right
now
and
I
I
understand
that
it
happens
all
the
time,
it's
just
that
it
makes
it
really
tough
to
wordsmith
right.
You
know.
F
So
if
I,
my
suggestion
would
be
a
moment
to
strike
well,
it
would
read,
therefore,
the
anchorage
the
board
directs
the
superintendent
to
promote
the
necessary
collaboration
between
the
I
apologize,
the
glutinous
tribe
and
the
anchorage
school
district
to
write,
not
construct
to
maintain
a
living
land
acknowledgement
statement
and
bring
that
acknowledgement
to
the
board
for
approval
period,
and
it
would
strike
the
rest
of
that.
So
that
would
essentially
be
this
resolution.
F
Ask
would
would
is
formally
asking
the
administration
to
draft
that
acknowledgement,
and
my
second
point
was
really
a
comment
that
I'm
not
I
I
continue
to
be
not
I
community
uncertain
of
what,
under
the
abbreviated
land
acknowledgement,
the
starts
of
school
weeks
means
it's
not
clear
whether
that's
in
class,
whether
that's
announcements
monday
morning,
if
it's
every
day,
so
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
fake
language
that.
H
Sure
I
thought
we
had
kelly.
I
I
I'm
I'm
okay
with
that
edit
to
the
last.
Therefore,
if
you
go
up
to
up
to,
I
thought
we
modified
like
the
anchor
screw,
let's
see
from
the
bottom
one
two
three,
the
anchorage
school
board,
let's
see,
can't
even
read
it
hold
on.
Let
me
make
this
bigger
make
my
screen
bigger,
so
two
three
paragraphs
up
from
the
bottom
there,
and
I
