Free lecture on Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood
Sealaska Heritage Institute is sponsoring a free lecture on the American flags in Alaska Native Brotherhood Halls before 1960 at noon Friday at the Walter Soboleff Building.
Emily L. Moore, an assistant professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Colorado State University, will dive into the flags featured in many group portraits of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
The flags often featured modifications that referenced Tlingit and Haida leaders, clans, ANB resolutions and more.
Moore’s talk is free and open to the public.
