Cultural Heritage Academic Services provides comprehensive services for tribal members who seek to increase their leadership capacity through educational and professional training. CHAS views every tribal member as current or prospective leaders for our Native families, schools, organizations, and communities. CHAS embraces and celebrates our Native traditions while encouraging tribal members to live fulfilling modern lives.
CHAS Mission Statement
KIC Cultural Heritage Academic Services works in partnership with our elders, educators, and leaders, as well as other allies, to provide career, educational, and language programs for all tribal members. We complete this work acknowledging át awoonéi, yahkwdáng, and hlau-dum, in order to develop tribal members’ individual leadership capacity and to promote tribal self-determination.
*The words át awoonéi (Tlingit), yahkwdáng (Haida), hlau-dum (Tsimshian) are concepts of respect in our heritage languages.
