2000 Census Counts for Alaska Natives

"The culture, values and traditions of native people amount to more than crafts and carvings. Their respect for the wisdom of their elders, their concept of family responsibilities extending beyond the nuclear family to embrace a whole village, their respect for the environment, their willingness to share - all of these values persist within their own culture even though they have been under unremitting pressure to abandon them."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A group advocating for the separation of church and state filed a lawsuit against the federal Department of Education over taxpayer money going to Alaska Christian College.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation says that the relatively new, unaccredited school in Soldotna has only 37 students but has received more than $1 million in federal money in the past two years.

The college is affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church of Alaska. More than 90 percent of its student body is either Alaska Native or American Indian.
