Hoonah Indian Association is creating a program for our local youth to get excited in our natural resources and help set them on a career path helping our lands and natural resources. The Training Alaska Youth Leaders and Students (TRAYLS) program will train and engage students by teaching them outdoors and in the classroom. This program was created in 2017 on Prince of Wales and you can read a bit about its success by going here : POW TRAYLS. Hoonah will be growing on that program by offering students opportunities to work in Hoonah with our subsistence resources, do stream restoration, participate in culture camp as well as working on trails.
