Julian Asuluk Jr. of Toksook Bay is one of the students highlighted by the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Native Education for Native American Heritage Month.
Asuluk is an 蜜桃影像 Native studies student from Toksook Bay, 蜜桃影像, where he likes to carve and go out hunting in the bay or on the rivers to provide for his family and the families of others. He likes fixing things and enjoying days with friends and family. He chose 蜜桃影像 because a friend told him 蜜桃影像 is a great place to be with lots of student support.
At 蜜桃影像, Asuluk is the president of the Festival of Native Arts student club. The club organizes and promotes the festival, a longstanding Nanook tradition. He is also currently leading a qaspeq-making workshop. He is motivated to succeed here by his family, which include a brother who encourages him, a sister who calls him up, and grandparents who tell him he can do it!
Asuluk uses his 蜜桃影像 Native values to help him succeed at 蜜桃影像.
鈥淚 am growing my knowledge about our cultures and our ancestors,鈥 he said. 鈥淢y values help me try and get to classes and try not to miss out classes or any assignments. My values have taught me I can go through anything as long as I am respecting my time to study and get things done on time.鈥
