Two of them, Oscar Kawagley (Yupiaq), and Ray Barnhardt co-created the Alaska Native Knowledge Network, which has become a model strategy for surfacing indigenous knowledge in places all over the world. http://www.ankn. uaf.edu/ Bill Demmert (Tlingit), a faculty member at Western Washington University’s College of Education, is a principal researcher for the Center for Research on Education, Diversity and Excellence. http://www.crede. org/
