The week begins with the First Alaskans Institute Elders & Youth Conference Monday and Tuesday.
The three-day AFN convention begins Thursday. The convention regularly draws 3,000 to 4,000 people, including roughly 1,000 voting delegates from across the state.
This is the 44th annual convention, with a keynote speech from Willie Hensley -- a pioneer of the argument for Alaska Native land rights -- and his daughter Elizabeth Hensley at 9:40 a.m. Thursday.
