Many of us, living today often ignore the fact that history continues now. We are the recipients of the historical relay from our predecessors. The past is the story of those people who lived the way they knew how, who often made mistakes, who learned as they went their historic paths. Our question is: What kind of history WE are making today for our future generations? Let's talk more about the fascinating history of Alaska in 2016-17 in depth admitting the bad and the good. I hope to see historians in the spotlight, sharing their works with the broad audience, opening discussion panels on various media planforms, and carefully using new findings not effected by political insinuations such as Cold War, propaganda etc. but objectively based on scarce yet still existing docs from the past. If we do it right then all of Alaskans will be able to come together for the 150th anniversary of the AK Transfer, first: commemorating the past and than celebrating those who calls Alaska - our home.
