As we wrap up our celebration of Never Alone's 10th anniversary this week, we thought it would be fitting to turn an eye to the future. Here are some photos from our recent trip to Alaska in support of our work on Never Alone 2!

We're incredibly proud of the impact Never Alone has had around the world - here are just a few examples of where Nuna and Fox have appeared over the years!

We can't believe it's been 10 years since Never Alone debuted! The characters and environments were inspired by traditional Alaska Native art – painting, drawing, sculpture, clothing, masks, scrimshaw – and honed via collaboration with Alaska Native elders and artists.

In honor of Never Alone's 10th anniversary, we wanted to highlight this wonderful mini documentary that our friends and partners at Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc. put together - please enjoy "Never Alone: The Making of" https://lnkd.in/grAAgy_z

Congratulations to our friends at Unreliable Narrators on the launch of Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)!
