Join us as Sam Demientieff and Elizabeth Fleagle reflect on pandemics in Alaska, as COVID-19 reaches its 2-year mark. Sam and Elizabeth describe the changes brought on by pandemics, especially to events and gatherings that would traditionally occur in March. They also recall stories about how the Native community has been resilient through past pandemics, such as the 1918 Influenza, and remains so today.
