BSNC employees recently came together to support our Anchorage community by volunteering at the Downtown Hope Center Soup Kitchen. Our team worked alongside Hope Center staff to prepare and serve meals to guests experiencing homelessness. This volunteer effort was a meaningful reminder of both the challenges many in our community face and the importance of showing up with compassion and care. BSNC extends its sincere appreciation to all employees who participated. Your service reflects our values in action and makes a difference for those in need.

In this video, join BSNC shareholder Agnes “Oonaleen” Ivanoff Baptiste, originally from Unalakleet, Alaska, as she guides us through the traditional art of making Agutaq.

Agutaq—often known as “Eskimo ice cream”—is more than a dessert. It’s a dish that carries our history, nourishes our families, and is shared during celebrations, gatherings, and long journeys outdoors.

In this video, Agnes demonstrates two versions of Agutaq—fish agutaq and berry agutaq with dunnuq (tallow).

Quyaana, Agnes, for sharing your knowledge and helping us uplift the culture that makes us who we are.

🌅 This episode is part of Mazzaq Tigittuaq, meaning “sunrise” in Inupiaq—our video series honoring the rich culture and knowledge of Our People.
