Module VII - Blog It!

No matter where you are, we're glad you're here!

Musings...
You don't have to be here for very long to begin to notice the rich pageant that is Alaska's cultural parade.

And don't we Alaskans feel just a little bit special because we're a part of it, too?

Time to Blog It!.

Essential Questions for Module VII
  • How have the settlement patterns of Alaska been a reflection of the natural landscape, distance, resources, and the economy?
  • How have the ways Alaskans have devised education and health care systems been both a reflection of socio-cultural norms of the dominant culture as well as a response to the challenges of providing services in a vast geographic area? 
  • To what degree is there distinctiveness in the art, literature, science, recreation, and cultural institutions of Alaska?  In what way do these contribute to, or reflect, a unique Alaska identity?
