We pray to maintain an Alaskan Native majority, this will help ensure that the cultural knowledge of our Alaskan Native students is not dwarfed, this in turn will allow us to effectively motivate the students to lead others in spiritual education and service. Our board will be a diverse makeup of Alaskan Natives, and leaders from a variety of Christian denominations. After over 100 years of missionary work in Alaska, complete with its lessons learned as well as lessons taught, we have come to appreciate the need to nurture the spirit, specifically as it relates to young adults within our many Native cultures. Half of the Native Tribes within the Unites States are located within Alaska. With 226 Native Tribes, a growing population, and destructive forces attacking from without and within, the cultural and spiritually challenges facing Alaska's people are immense.
