The Doyon Foundation, in collaboration with KUAC, is excited to announce the launch of a new initiative, Word of the Week, aimed at celebrating and preserving Alaska Native languages. We are seeking fluent Alaska Native language speakers to record short segments for this upcoming KUAC feature.
Participants will have the opportunity to share a word or phrase from their native language and help keep Alaska’s rich linguistic heritage alive for current and future generations.
How to Participate:
- Interested speakers should record themselves using the provided script, ensuring clarity and correct pronunciation.
- Instructions and guidelines, including the script, release form are attached to the right of this paragraph.
- Completed recordings and signed releases should be submitted via email to [email protected]
At this stage, submissions are being collected. Participants will be notified once the segments begin airing on KUAC, so they can listen for their featured word or phrase on the radio.
For more information about participating, please contact Interim Language Revitalization Director, Lucy Miller at [email protected] or KUAC at [email protected]
