This planning process will bring comments from your entire community, including the thoughts and <br />ideas of people who may think very differently. Everyone has ideas and concerns. Each person <br />may see the community differently. The uniqueness of each person helps find solutions to problems <br />and ensures that the plan will be well balanced. 2 <br />What is Special About This Plan.? <br />This planning guide and form is designed for rural Alaska. It creates a plan based on community <br />values. The destiny of the village or small community often depends on its ability to identify <br />common values and to make the long -term commitment towards building a community vision <br />grounded in those values. <br />As you listen to one another in the planning process, you will find that people have different truths <br />and values. You may also find that your truths and values overlap. The overlapping places are the <br />foundation of common values that help build your community vision. <br />You can use your common values to guide development in your community. You can use them to <br />ask, "Does this project support our values? Does this design recognize our traditional forms and <br />shapes in our structures ?" <br />r, <br />} <br />{ - <br />9 r <br />0 it <br />4 <br />4 r <br />Cheryl Lea Renae George, Tununak <br />My Healthy Community <br />The elders, who teach us of the past <br />The adults, who parent the young ones <br />The children, who beep everyone happy through their laughter <br />The animals, who awe tourists <br />The tundra, its divine beauty spreading for miles around <br />The plants, that de fine the tundra <br />The ocean, that goes on forever into the setting sun <br />The ice, that makes beautiful shapes on top of the ever - flowing water <br />The snow, that spreads its white beauty once fallen <br />Who would I be without these things? <br />- ]Maria Eduarte, Barrow <br />2.
