State lawmakers don Alaska Native garments to honor culture

In this Friday, March 25, 2016 photo, House Majority Leader Rep. Charisse Millett, R-Anchorage, talks with her staff while donning her kuspuk for a floor session, in Juneau, Alaska. Millett and others in the Alaska Legislature regularly observe an informal Friday tradition where they wear their own versions of the traditional Alaska Native garment. For more than a decade, the tradition has grown to include lawmakers and their staff and even Senate pages who are fitted and gifted with a kuspuk to be worn in lieu of their distinctive blazers on Fridays.
