2024 Sealaska Way of Life – Capture “Our Future”, Win Prizes!
Monday, July 29, 2024

It’s that time of year again! Bring OUR FUTURE to life during the 2024 #SealaskaWayOfLife photo contest for a chance to win prizes. The contest begins Monday, July 29 and runs through Friday, August 30. 

Storytelling is at the heart of who we are at Sealaska. We want to continue to tell our story from your vantage point. 

Introduced in 2020 as a way to foster connection and engagement amid the pandemic, Sealaska Way of Life is now an annual tradition that brings our community together, encourages creativity and celebrates Native identity from diverse perspectives. 

Over the years, photo contest participants have submitted thousands of photos, capturing what we cherish as Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people through their own lens — things like stunning landscapes, favorite subsistence foods, intricate beadwork and carving skills, ways of life beyond our region, joyful moments shared with loved ones and more. 

This year, we’re asking shareholders to build upon OUR FUTURE by showing us what they mean to you in a snapshot. 

Sealaska’s vision for the future is built on collaboration and the collective strength we find when we share generously, come together in humility and mutual respect and learn from each other’s setbacks and achievements. We’ve been purposefully building the infrastructure to realize this vision for decades. 

In 2022, Sealaska shareholders voted to eliminate the blood quantum requirement, making up to 17,000 descendants of original Sealaska shareholders eligible to enroll, whose blood quantum is either lower than one-quarter or was incorrectly documented by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This next generation of shareholders is the driving force behind our thriving future. 

Our ways of life continue. Knowledge and love, passed down through millennia, is shared today with our children, grandchildren and theirs after them. This thread, interwoven from generation to generation, rests at the heart of all we do. 

Now, we want to see what our shared future looks like from your perspective. Read on to learn how to enter the 2024 #SealaskaWayOfLife contest.
