The Municipality of Anchorage declared October 5 through 11 "Conservation Week" at the event in recognition of Alaskans stewardship of our natural resources and great wild places.

Imamsuat, a multi-generational group of Sugpiaq (Alutiiq) people from the Alaska and Lower Kenai Peninsulas, Kodiak & Afognak Islands, and Prince William Sound, joined the Conservancy's celebration. Members of the group are also from the Inupiaq culture of the Bering Sea. The group shared their Sugpiat culture through dance and song.
