Suicide greatly impacts young men living in Alaska.

However, connections to their ancestors and traditions can help guide them to overcome their pain, silence, the stigma and to seek help. Heart of the Land, produced in coordination with a Native Alaskan production company, includes location shooting from the Alaskan cities of Juneau, Kotzebue, and Anchorage. In addition, representation in the video includes the Inupiaq, Tlingit, Tshimshian, Unangan, Athabascan, Aleut and Yupik Tribes.

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide know that you are not alone,

and you can reach out for support. Visit samhsa.gov/suicide or contact 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
