Students in 9th grade biology at Chugiak High School just north of Anchorage "dissect" something a little bigger than a frog. As part of their biology class and Alaska Studies class they skin and cut up a moose. The meat goes to those in the community in need as well as a package sent home with each one of the students.

From the Anchorage School District on the project:
On Monday, December 4th, our students from Chugiak High School started their day with a message from Evon Peters.
Evon is an Alaska Native leader originally from Arctic Village who shared his experiences and cultural traditions of honoring an animal’s life and sacrifice. Our students learned the importance of showing respect for such a life and the energy it will provide for those it feeds.
After the conversation, the students then proceeded to field dress a bull moose that was harvested by Biology teacher Brian Mason via an educational harvest permit from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
This incredible and uniquely Alaskan hands-on experience was organized by Chugiak High School’s Alaska Strong Coordinator, Ralph Elook, and Indigenous Education Student Support Specialist, Crystal Wendell.
The Anchorage School District (ASD) thanks our community for supporting culturally responsive student learning.
