Congratulations to all our graduating AIS students! You are all awesome! Here is a video the AISGC made for you!
Running is an act of prayer that transcends gender, race, and nationality. "To all you new runners," Álvarez is told the day he joins the PDJ, "welcome to the longest prayer in the world."
Our AIS Head, Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, recently published a keynote address that he delivered at the 2018 Celebration of Diversity Breakfast at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (his former institution). In his address, he provides an example of an Indigenous land acknowledgement at a large land grant university.
Mountains are a skier's passion, but for many people in North America, they're far more than that. They're a source of life, death, spirits, ancestry and most important, it's their home. Joining with Len Necefer PHD, Diné (Navajo), the CEO of Native Outdoors and a professor of Native American Studies along with Connor Ryan, Húŋkpapȟa (Lakota), Townsend goes into the La Sal Mountains, the ancestral homelands of the; Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Diné (Navajo), and ancestral Puebloan peoples, to ski as well as talk and learn about their individual connections with the mountains and how important they are not to just skiers, but to the world.

This is Episode 17 and line 17 completed for The FIFTY, a project following Cody Townsend as he attempts to climb and ski all fifty of the lines and mountains chronicled in the book, "The 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America." The series documents Townsend's journey's, travels, challenges and each line and mountain listed in the book. It's a journey through the most majestic mountains and ski lines in North America along with a unique insight into how skiers make decisions in the backcountry, how they plan, navigate and safely move through the mountains and the people that dedicate their lives to the mountains.
