I’m sorry you have to deal with that. When I was in Fairbanks a few months ago, my husband and I really enjoyed learning about all the Alaskan cultures in the Museum of the North! Did you know that Athabascan languages played a large role in the creation of a famous linguistic hypothesis about how language influences culture and people’s thought processes? (Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) I work in language services so did a small presentation about Alaskan languages and cultures for my colleagues when I got back from my trip. Just wanted to share in case it helped you feel proud about your heritage.
