"That sense of possibility. That you can reimagine the world... that you can lead by the force of example." - Barack Obama
The Last Frontier Eco Alliance is driven to preserve the wilderness of Alaska and Improve Social conditions for at-risk rural and urban Alaskan communities.
Our work focuses on innovative grassroots solutions to the challenges Alaska faces in a time of great economic and environmental crisis.
We lead expeditions in the wilderness of Alaska. We weave and build social networks, distribute and create progressive media, educate and empower youth.
We organize green events that drive urban culture and that catalyze change. We believe in unlocking the dormant intuitive and creative abilities of everyday Alaskans... unleashing our collective talents to remake the systems that shape our world.
We work on the complex design issue of Sustainability... 'the Apollo project of the hip-hop generation and the holy grail of the human race'.
Sustainability to us is... connecting the dots to awaken, transform and drive culture to a place of insight and brilliance. Self discovery reflected in community development. Learning from nature's systems. Art in action. Translating global inspiration into local results. Building a bridge between heaven and earth.

Our aim is to restore a balance to the people and communities of Alaska that is worthy of our indigenous heritage.
"After graduation, due to special circumstances and perhaps also to my character, I began to travel throughout America, and I became acquainted with all of it. Except for Haiti and Santo Domingo, I have visited, to some extent, all the other Latin American countries. Because of the circumstances in which I traveled, first as a student and later as a doctor, I came into close contact with poverty, hunger and disease; with the inability to treat a child because of lack of money; with the stupefaction provoked by the continual hunger and punishment, to the point that a father can accept the loss of a son as an unimportant accident, as occurs often in the downtrodden classes of our American homeland. And I began to realize at that time that there were things that were almost as important to me as becoming famous for making a significant contribution to medical science: I wanted to help those people."
— Ernesto Guevara (Che)
