The Korea Maritime Institute, Arctic and International Relations Initiative in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies (Canadian Studies Center, Global Studies Center, and East Asia Center), and the Aleut International Association partnered to offer a workshop on the Unangax̂ (Aleut) held in Unalaska n the Aleutian Islands. The workshop brought together representatives from the sponsoring units and local organizations to better understand the growing political influence of the Aleut International Association in international affairs. The AIA is a Permanent Participant organization on the Arctic Council; KMI is an Observer State. Workshop outcomes, including a special issue of Arctic and International Relations Series, will enhance cooperation between the Korea Maritime Institute, Jackson School of International Studies, and Aleut International Association. Canadian Studies manages the KMI-Jackson School contract and its activities.
