Our stories.
Our cultures.
Our future.
Yaaruin Collective publishes Indigenous-led media and resources, and creates community spaces so that our children grow up surrounded by their languages, stories, and cultures — told by us, for us.
Our Projects
Yaaruin Kids Magazine
A magazine made for Alaska Native children — full of games, puzzles, and cultural learning adventures rooted in language, story, and belonging. Just as the story knife has always brought tales to life between generations, Yaaruin Kids puts that same tradition into your kids hands in a brand new way. Every issue is a celebration of who we are and where we come from.
Because every child deserves to grow up seeing their people, their place, and their stories reflected back at them.

Turtle Island Kids Magazine
Rooted in the richness of Indigenous life across Turtle Island — we celebrate the land, the languages, the traditions, and the communities that have called this place home since time immemorial. Through vibrant storytelling, art, and activities, each issue invites children to explore their world with curiosity and pride, connecting them to the generations who came before and the culture they carry forward.
Because every child deserves to grow up seeing their people, their places, and their stories reflected back at them.
In development for 2027 — the next chapter in Indigenous children’s media.
The Collective
A multimedia membership-based resource hub where creators can learn everything they need — writing, illustrating, editing, publishing, recording — to bring traditional stories to life in their own languages. Membership is sliding scale, because access should never be a barrier to keeping our languages alive.
Beyond the resources, we host community gatherings and funded group publishing events where we create books together to ensure our children will grow up knowing our languages because we made sure they would.
Now forming — your voice helps shape what this becomes.
We're just getting started — and you can be here from the beginning.
