Fourth Annual Troth Yeddha' Run for the Park
People from all walks of life are going the distance to help raise awareness for Troth Yeddha' Park, a green space that celebrates Alaska Native culture and University of Alaska Fairbanks Troth Yeddha' Legacy. The Fourth Annual Troth Yeddha' Run for the Park will start at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at the green space located between the Museum of the North and the Reichardt Building on UAF campus. The 5K event is sponsored by the Vice Chancellor for Rural, Community and Native Education and the UAF College of Rural and Community Development. Centuries before it became home to an institution of higher learning, the ridge that now is home to UAF was a known as Troth Yeddha' by the Lower Tanana Athabascans. Translated into English, Troth Yeddha' means "Wild Potato Ridge."
