Dig Afognak Dig Afognak is a remote Alutiiq cultural immersion camp for youth on Afognak Island, Alaska operated by the Native Village of Afognak.

Each summer the Native Village of Afognak hosts 5-day camps at our Dig Afognak camp site, near the village of Afognak. Dig Afognak's purpose is to connect Sugpiat (Alutiiq Peoples) with our rich heritage through connection to community, land, and traditional practices through hands-on cultural experiences and activities with Alaska Native artists, Culture Bearers, and Elders. While NVA focuses on local Alutiiq arts and traditions, we are inclusive and welcome all Alaska Native cultures. Dig Afognak is designed to share Alutiiq cultural knowledge and traditions, which reduce substance abuse, child abuse, and neglect, and strengthen families within our Tribal and larger Kodiak community.
