Alaska Native Dialogues on Racial Equity Toolkit was developed as a part of the Alaska Native Dialogues on Racial Equity (ANDORE) project. ANDORE aims to foster racial healing through engagement in community conversations across Alaska on race, racism and racial equity. Through open dialogues, communities can move toward increased understanding, healing and growth. To achieve this goal, the project elevates stories and experiences through community conversations and seeks to advance policy solutions that will help achieve racial equity.

The project toolkit contains a number of resources to help guide meaningful and effective dialogue around the topics of racial equity and racial healing. The toolkit includes:
