On this week’s episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we sit down with Patuk Glenn, the Executive Director of the Arctic Slope Community Foundation (ASCF) and a digital media influencer. Patuk has dedicated her life to promoting and preserving the Inupiat way of life, working in various roles that have made a significant impact on her community in the Arctic Slope region of Alaska.

Patuk has served as Museum Curator for the Inupiat Heritage Center, worked as a Project Manager for the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation in Community Economic Development, and now leads ASCF, an organization committed to strengthening the culture of giving and improving the quality of life among the people of the Arctic Slope. For Patuk, her greatest achievements are the relationships she has developed with community members, and she continues to work tirelessly to support the region’s positive growth and development.

One of her viral videos about her family’s ice cellar—a traditional storage method for subsistence foods like bowhead whale, caribou, and seal—captured national attention and helped her build a following of over 120,000.
