Happy Indigenous People's Day!

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the First Peoples of our region, state, and across the nation.

In the Valley, we celebrate the Dena'ina and Ahtna Athabascan Peoples who have called this land home since time immemorial. We are grateful to them for continuing to shape our world through their past, present, and future stewardship of the Mat-Su.

As we reflect on this day, we remain committed to supporting Indigenous communities and people who strive to make our borough and state the healthiest place to live, work, and play.
