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