When ROADSHOW visited Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage, we met Peter “Pilak” Griggs, Cultural Tourism Apprentice and record-holder in traditional Native Alaskan games. This Alaska Native Heritage Month, see a demonstration of three games from Peter! Griggs, of the Sugpiaq and Yup’ik peoples, is from Afognak and Kwethluk. His father is Daryl Griggs and his mother is Alexandra Kapatak.

“We have a big season ahead for fans, which includes locations rich in history alongside items and guests that reveal hidden stories, first-person experiences and some whopping values,” said ANTIQUES ROADSHOW executive producer Marsha Bemko. “And I was touched to see items from PBS icons Fred Rogers and Bob Ross make their way to the show.”

Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi, an art historian and museum consultant, and Shyanne Beatty, a tribal arts expert, discuss appraising Alaska Native material during ANTIQUES ROADSHOW'S 2023 stop in Anchorage, Alaska.
