AFN is hosting the "Understanding the Subsistence Framework in Alaska" workshop on October 16, 2024. This educational session will provide an overview of the legal structure of subsistence management in Alaska and explore pathways to advance Alaska Native customary and traditional hunting and fishing rights.

This workshop is free and open to the public and will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person. Please join us to learn more about our complex subsistence management structure and explore options to advance our Native hunting and fishing rights. We look forward to supporting all our communities in understanding existing structures so we can collectively advocate for the options that best advance Alaska Native subsistence rights.

There will also be an opportunity to engage in a dialogue and ask questions with subsistence legal and policy experts and AFN leadership.

Date: October 16, 2024
Time: 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM (AKDT)
Livestream Link: https://nativefederation.org/afn-subsistence-workshop-2024/

AFN also encourages you to review our Subsistence Series of Workshops hosted in 2022 for a more in-depth presentation on the Alaska legal and policy framework of subsistence management. You can access the series at the following link: Subsistence Workshop Series 2022.

We look forward to your participation in this important conversation!

Arctic Energy Forum 2024 is a two and a 1/2 day event on 14-16 October 2024 with the option of a pre-Education and Policy tour.

The AEF 2024 will review facts and discuss examples of best practices and solutions in energy and Green transitions through consulting and presentations for responsible energy solutions for Sustainable Nordic, Arctic, and Global Development. Emphasis will be on responsible energy use and utilization, not least renewable and green transition opportunities and solutions in smaller communities.

The workshop is organized by the IACS-IAPSO Joint Commission on Ice-Ocean Interactions (JCIOI) and will take place on Zoom 14-18th October 2024, and have have sessions staggered across multiple time zones. Key sessions will address four main themes below, but organizers welcome short presentations on any topic relating to ice sheet and glacier interactions with the ocean:
