A preschool designed to immerse children in the Alutiiq language is about to enter its first full semester of classes.
The Administration for Native Americans granted the Sun’aq tribe roughly $2 million dollars to establish the nest school. It wrapped up its pilot semester in May.
Local artist Hanna Sholl said she enrolled two of her children in the nest school.
