✨ Member Moment Monday ✨
This week`s Member Moment Monday is inspired by Indigenous Peoples Day! Today, we’re shining a light on Alaska`s Indigenous business owners who fuse tradition with innovation to keep culture alive and thriving. Let’s celebrate their incredible contributions—today and every day!
🧶 @ravensnesthandmadegifts : Certified Tribal Artist Tsoonklah Tamaree Kawagley creates unique, hand-dyed alpaca fiber art with Alaska Native and freestyle designs. Eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and oh-so-soft!
💎 @designsbysuz : Cup’ik artist Susan Jones handcrafts stunning beadwoven jewelry in remote Alaska. Looking for earrings that pop? She’s got the one-of-a-kind pieces that do just that!
🌿 @tulugaqessentialoils : Teress "Teri" Naylor blends natural, handmade goodness in the form of essential oils, creams, and bath salts—all rooted in her Northwest Alaska heritage. A self-care dream!
👚 @naataq_gear : Inupiaq-owned Naataq Gear brings the iconic Alaskan qaspeq (kuspuk) to modern fashion, thanks to Alice Bioff. Tradition meets trend!

This week’s edition is dedicated to some of the best beverages Alaska has to offer! Whether you’re looking for a warm cozy coffee or want to sample the newest spirits… Alaskan-owned businesses are giving us some fantastic things to sip this fall season!
🍸 When 99% of the world said, "Nah, we’ll pass on potatoes," @alaskanspirits said, “Hold our vodka.” 🙌 They proudly distill 100% of their award-winning, smooth-as-ice potato vodka on site, right here in Alaska. And yes, they’re 100% Alaskan owned too! 🏔️
🍵 @sippingstreams doesn’t do basic! They craft top-notch organic loose-leaf teas, hand-blended for that extra fresh flavor you can’t get anywhere else. 🌿 Sustainability? Oh, they nailed it—with non-GMO compostable sachets and the first-ever geothermal-powered tea farm in Alaska. 💁♀️
🍏@doubleshovelciderco isn’t Alaska’s first micro-cidery for nothing—they’re here to shake up your cider game. 🙌 Handcrafting naturally gluten-free cider with Alaskan apples, berries, and syrups mixed with Washington’s finest, they’re serving up pure greatness!🍻
☕ @uncleleroyscoffee started with a bang—roasting on a 1968 bus once owned by an outlaw preacher in Big Lake, Alaska! 🚍 That bus, repurposed into a mobile coffee bar, had coffee pan-roasted on the road. Now, they`re all about 2lb batches of bold, custom blends that pack a punch. 💥

Your dollars work overtime when you shop local, creating jobs and boosting paychecks in Alaska! 🏔️
Here’s the scoop:
🛍️ Local businesses invest nearly double the wages of non-local ones.
💵 If every household shifted their spending just $20 more a week locally, we could create about 5,900 jobs!
💰 And that same $20 could put an additional $215 million into Alaskan paychecks!
It’s pretty wild how a little shift can make a big difference, right? 🌱 So let’s keep it local and help Alaska thrive!
Learn more about the impact you can make at BuyAlaska.com/Impact!
Thanks to the @AlaskaCED for crunching the numbers!

🌍Oh, you think shopping local JUST helps Alaska? Absolutely NOT! It’s also saving the planet! 💁♀️
By supporting local businesses right here at home, you`re cutting down on all those miles (and emissions) it takes for big corporations to ship stuff across the globe. Plus, you`re putting your money where it really counts—right back into your local economy!
So, yeah—shopping local is the best!
