The AFN Convention is a celebration of Alaska Native art. Ursula Paniyak of Chevak proudly displayed her dolls and honored her mom, Rosalie Paniyak, who taught her the craft, in her display.
The 2009 Alaska Federation of Natives annual convention got underway in Anchorage today. This year’s theme is Northern Dreams-Our Historic Journey Continues.
