Welcome to the AISD Innovations Incubator!
The historic Tsimshian tradition of creative adaptation has been one of
helping one another survive by being intentionally innovative and
entrepreneurial.
Modern Internet connectivity, mobile devices, in many ways, are being
reinvented to serve Tsimshian citizens, wherever they may choose to
live, guided by Tsimshian values.
Metlakatla is already the first Alaska Native Digital Village, and has
the opportunity to inspire all other Alaska Native villages by sharing
both values, and vision, for sustainable cultures and communities.
As a new form of Virtual Potlatch, the spirit of Alaska Native Giving
can make both a statewide and global impact.
An open invitation to all to share Tsimshian values;
