This month, Copper River Native Association proudly celebrates the rich history, cultural heritage, traditions, and contributions of Alaska Native people.

We honor the strength and wisdom of our Elders, the traditions passed down through generations, and the importance of preserving our Native languages, cultures, and ways of life.

As we celebrate the enduring heritage of the Ahtna people and Native communities across the nation, we recognize the connections between our past, present, and future.

Together, we honor our ancestors, celebrate our cultures, and inspire future generations.
