History

The summer of 2012 will be the Academy’s fourth year of operation.   It was launched in 2008 with a 4-day program attended by nine students from local villages and led by Academy founders, Luki Akelkok and Tim Troll, and lead instructor and local lodge owner Nanci Morris Lyon.     It was expanded in 2010 (Ekwok) and 2011 (Naknek) to a week long, more comprehensive course, with nine and eleven students in each respective class.
