Smokehouse 2026

Howard Rock & Ted Stevens Smokehouse Gala

November 21, 2026

Marriott Anchorage Downtown, Anchorage, AK

The Howard Rock & Ted Stevens Smokehouse Gala is an Indigenous black-tie event celebrating our Indigeneity in beautiful and innovative ways, while uplifting Alaska Native peoples and friends who work to advance our ways of life.

The Gala pays tribute to the incredible contributions of the late Howard Rock (Inupiaq) and Senator Ted Stevens, who worked throughout their lifetimes for Native peoples.

The Smokehouse Gala is First Alaskans Institute's signature fundraiser. All proceeds go toward advancing our Alaska Native ways of life, ensuring Alaska Native peoples are involved in decision-making at all levels, and cultivating leadership responsibility from birth to Elder.

We invite you to become a sponsor. Sponsorship directly supports Alaska Native leadership development and helps build stronger, more connected communities across the state.
