I don't think the business about each Alaskan language being of "inestimable value" takes a neutral point of view. Also, the picture at the bottom of the article looks more like an ad for the University of Alaska than anything else --- for example, the motto "Ad Summum" is not what I'd expect to see in an encyclopedia.

This entire article appears to be copied from the "mission" page of the ANLC website, where it is marked "Copyright © Alaska Native Language Center 1999-2005". I am not an experienced Wikipedian, so I'm not sure what is the best procedure here. The article seems potentially useful enough, and I would think that rewriting would be preferable to deletion (if those are the only options.) 24.36.74.15 (talk) 01:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
