The exhibit is a cooperative project put together by the Alutiiq Museum of Kodiak and the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Arctic Studies. It tells the story of the Alutiiq people, featuring rare artifacts, historic photographs and the words of elders.

In preparation, docents will participate in three half-day workshops, learning about the exhibit, touring the museum, participating in discussions about Alutiiq history and practicing giving tours under staff direction. Training will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 2 and must be able to commit to working as a docent twice per month during the exhibit's three-month showing.
