Alaska Community

Fort Yukon, Fairbanks, Alaska,

United States

As you can see from the photos below this text section, we have a special interest in Native ways of living and education. Here are our shared beliefs and what values we want to develop with other people:

• To love the natural world as strongly as we care about society.

• To explore with others how to live in the wild.

• To respond to the call of service. • To value education and culture.

We develop outdoor skills together and visit environmental, re-wilding, and native communities. We organize camping trips where participants teach each other skills such as foraging for edible plants. We help people, who are interested in this traditional outdoor way of living, to get to know each other so they can travel up to Alaska as a group and successfully coexist/survive as a cooperative (noncompetitive) group. Some of our goals are to build a community of friends and to start an outdoor environmental college.

If you live in the lower 48 states, we prefer to first organize interested individuals by providing them opporunities to get to know one another and us. Participants who learn to feel comfortable with the difficulties of outdoor living and are still interested can then travel up to Alaska as a group if they wish.

We're tolerant of differences such as religion and eating habits. However, alcohol and smoking hurt communities; we want everyone to enjoy the same freedom from addiction slavery that most educated people enjoy.

If you would like to get to know us, send a short message that mentions some of your interests and include several ways of contacting you. Please indicate where you currently live (city and state). Sometimes, several weeks pass before we're able to check our email and reply.
