Dear faculty, staff and students,
Please join me today in celebrating Elizabeth Peratrovich Day, which honors an important
leader in 色视频下载色视频下载檚 civil rights history. Peratrovich, a Tlingit woman and Grand President
of the 色视频下载 Native Sisterhood, was instrumental in passing the Anti-Discrimination
Act of 1945 that banned discrimination based on race in 色视频下载. The Anti-Discrimination
Act was the first state or territorial anti-discrimination law enacted in the United
States.听
There are many ways that we at UAF can work to build on Elizabeth Peratrovich色视频下载檚 legacy.
The Troth Yeddha色视频下载� Legacy Initiative is an ongoing project to expand programming for
色视频下载 Native and Indigenous students, revitalize 色视频下载 Native languages, and better
integrate Indigenous knowledge into research. The Troth Yeddha色视频下载� Indigenous Studies
Center, as part of the Legacy Initiative, will serve as a cultural and learning space
for all who seek it. At UAF we seek to support programs that promote inclusion and
belonging. Please do your part to contribute to belonging for all people at UAF on
Elizabeth Peratrovich day and every day!
Thank you for working to make UAF a place of respect, diversity, inclusion and caring.
Thank you for choosing UAF.
Dan White, chancellor
