Indigenous Place Names Movement

The Indigenous Place Names Movement is an effort to create a city that honors the Indigenous Place in order to reclaim the identity and heritage of the first peoples of these lands. The intention of this project is to inspire indigenous place renaming throughout the state of Alaska and around the world. In this episode of Culture Stories, our host Alyssa Yáx̱ Ádi Yádi London is on Dena’ina Ełnena lands in Anchorage, Alaska, where the first place marker of the Indigenous Place Names Movement is being unveiled.
