Small talk serves the purpose of showing openness to conversation. It involves questions that require little thought and can vary between cultures. The length of time spent on small talk and how frequently it occurs also differs across cultures. Relating information generally refers to literally conveying instructions or directions. However, information is not always taken literally between cultures. Rituals are stereotyped sequences of symbolic actions performed for religious or cultural purposes. They are often difficult for outsiders to understand but allow observers insight into a culture. Affective communication expresses emotions, but some cultures emphasize rationality over emotion more than others. Instrumental communication aims to achieve goals through commands, requests, or factual statements. The interpretation of instrumental language can differ between cultures

Thank you to all of my PR colleagues, co-workers and friends for helping me to develop this presentation. Leona Long, Dawn Kimberlin, Dixie Hutchinson, Sarah Scanlan, Janet Hall, Joaqlin Estus, April Williams, Anna Sattler, Geri Simon and Jolene John.
I’ll share this presentation on Slideshare.
How many people have done outreach in rural Alaska?
Why I created this presentation? I saw a need to:
- - - Address stereotypes of Alaska Native people in media campaigns,
- - - Offer tips on travelling to rural Alaska, and
- - - Help communications professionals like you in doing outreach to rural Alaskans.
Let’s get the “Don’ts” out of the way first.
Flute music.
Following slides: map, culture card and technology.
Don’t assume Alaska Natives are living in the old days. It’s okay to use modern day images of Alaska Native people. While many Alaska Natives have and wear traditional regalia, they do wear modern clothing. Be conscious of perpetuating stereotypes of Alaska Native people.
Sometimes it take a long time to download files…be cognizant of file size.
Also – Don’t perpetuate bad stats too. For example, ANTHC Injury Prevention promotes “water safety” vs. “drowning prevention”. Create new norms.
Order online for free - This will help you understand the mindset and behavior of AI & AN’s. – Note ‘Communication Styles’ column. Doesn’t represent all though.
Alaska is a very diverse state. Small communities. Remote. Regional hubs.
I think there are 229 federally recognized tribes. Not all villages consider themselves “tribes”. That is more of a national Native American or American Indian term. There a variety of names for these councils including ‘Native council,’ ‘tribal council,’ ‘IRA council,’ ‘village council,’ and ‘traditional council.’
Prior to ANCSA people did not use “Alaska Native” to describe themselves. It’s okay to use the Alaska Native, but I just wanted to point out the distinction and diversity of cultural backgrounds.
There are 20 Indigenous languages spoken in Alaska and indicates the diversity and scope of the population.
Technology is IN rural Alaska. While we still hunt, fish and gather…we are in current times. Example - Moose hunting in Galena. Caveat – Connectivity is not up to speed. While people may have phone service, they may not have reliable data.
Plan ahead – Maria – Can you pick me up at the airport today and introduce you to Mayor Berkowitz and CITC President Gloria O’Neill? Sounds crazy? There are protocols to follow just like in the city.
Questions – Who has been to rural Alaska? Have you been on a four-wheelers, back of a truck or on a snow-machine sleds?
Inclement weather.
Get in the mindset of rural Alaskans.
Board walk. Nightmute and Savoonga. Large items are often barged in.
Many villages do not have a building at the airport.
You may have to walk to the village from the airport or ride on the back of an ATV or a four-wheeler.
Jack of all trades. Local leaders can give the keys to the village and be a gatekeeper.
Influencers.
Community leaders could be the chief, mayor, school principle.
Check a week ahead and the day before to confirm arrangements. For example, there may have been an unexpected event happen, like a death in the community. Communities are small, so often deaths affect the whole community.
Fresh fruit or vegetables can be a big hit to your event or meeting.
How to Dress - Dress in layers. Casual dress code is the norm, and wear clothes that you don’t mind getting some mud on. Sponsor or lend support to events like festivals, native dances, fiddling festivals, carnivals, sport events (baseball, softball, dog mushing, etc.)
Be patient – Not everyone will speak up at the moment you ask for questions. Short silences are okay. The audience is actually building up momentum to say something or ask a question.
Speak in layman’s terms. Government or business speak isn’t always necessary.
Sponsor sporting events and events where Alaska Natives and rural Alaskans gather. Reaching out at events with booths or just your presence. Volunteer.
What do you see that may be effective?
Language under title (Indian Energy, Rural Alaska, Native Leaders), photos from rural Alaska, map (conversation starter)
Knowledge of rural Alaska life and culture shows.
At first glance, it appears they know about rural Alaska.
Cultural sensitivity is important.
Be cognizant of what lens we are looking through.
The Culture Card brochure gives some insight into being sensitive to culture.
Thanks Geri Simon of Doyon for emphasizing the importance of introducing yourself.
With language – Even within a language, there are a lot of different dialects.
Along the Koyukuk River, we speak the same language, but there are slight variances.
Use the commonly accepted dialect, unless you are targeting a specific area.
Building a name for yourself and your company. People remember.
Name dropping – When you go to Huslia, say you know me. You can gain trust through name dropping.
Print – you have a captive audience…but make it simple. They do get bombarded. Follow-up on your outreach.
Always be prepared with a plan B if technology does not work. Technology can be a challenge in rural Alaska.
Plan ahead
Post information about events you are holding in a community.
Check and double check.
Ask if it is the right time of year. – Events like fishing, camping, regional meetings, PFD time
Are people going to be in town?
Traditional Media: Traditional ways of reaching rural Alaskans still work. If it works for your company, then continue to use them.
Interactive media: Interactive media may include websites, e-newsletters, listservs, blogs and social media.
Radio - KRFF – also reaching rural interior Alaskans.
Facebook – Friend/partner with influencers. Examples: “I Am Alaska Native” or “I am Yup’ik”. People – Influencers like “I Sing. You Dance.” or “Courtney Agnes”
Sarah Scanlan – Campaign for Board Seat: direct mail for older folks and Facebook for younger folks.
Facebook – Friend/partner with influencers. Examples: “I Am Alaska Native” or “I am Yup’ik”. People – Influencers like “I Sing. You Dance.” or “Courtney Agnes”
Sarah Scanlan – Campaign for Board Seat: direct mail for older folks and Facebook for younger folks.
Targeted Facebook ads – age, demographic, location, etc.
Who knows what B-roll is? This technique of using the cutaway is common to hide zooms, where the visuals may cut away to B-roll footage of what the person is talking about while the A camera zooms in, then cut back after the zoom is complete.
It adds visual elements to the story.
Resulted in coverage with B-Roll used.
Alaska media has limited resources to cover many places in rural Alaska, so your B-Roll is gold.
Can you think of some rich photos or videos you can create or share that will add to a story with the media? Example – Meadow Bailey works for the DOT and often phone calls are used with the photos taken from the highways being used.
Letters – RurAL CAP Foundation outreach.
Posters – work!
Do you copy? And if you go to rural Alaskans – you can be the one to be on the VHF radio! I had to go on the VHF radio in Nikolai one time.
Digital stories – ANTHC, NANA, BBNC, ASRC’s “I am Inupiaq”
Hashtags - Using and following hashtags on Twitter and Instagram are a great way to have and follow conversations. Use Search.Twitter.com in addition to Google Alerts for updates from a certain region or community.
Instagram and Snapchat – younger audience. It looks like you can do Instagram ads via FB advertising right now.
What do you notice about this photo? (flyers) Just like community bulletin boards in grocery stores in the city, there are places to post flyers and posters. It is somewhat of a captive audience.
Flyer can be multi-functional – send hard copies to the village too. Followed up with a phone, email or fax. I think she received 47 applicants.
This client educational video was posted on Facebook and YouTube.
Importance of language translation. Dialects can be a challenge too.
Faces and voices of rural Alaskans. I created this video using my phone and the iMovie app.
The State’s Community Database has “Community/Regional Contacts Information”.
For example, you can look up the contacts for Galena. I think DCRA will send you a list if you request it. Please note – It’s not always a 100% accurate, but it does give you a good start and understanding.
Was this helpful? Did you find something on the Dos or Don’ts lists helpful? Any more to add? Lessons learned or maybe some other trends/tips?
Feel free to contact me with any other questions. Thank you!
