“I contemplated how sorrow, frustration, and anger wove together with courage, resiliency, and hope, and how the art might speak to this gravity.”   Michaela Goade First Native American illustrator to win the Caldecott Medal   The Artwork: Ink drawing of Michaela Goade on a map of southeastern Alaska. She is holding an open copy of We Are Water Protectors. Sitka, the ancestral home of her people and where she currently lives, is on the map, directly in her line of sight between her eyes and the open book.   The Story: It was a Sunday afternoon in 2021 and Michaela Goade was joining a video call with her editor at her publisher, when she saw the Zoom screen filled with many more faces than she was expecting. They were the members of the Caldecott committee and they were sharing the exciting news that Michaela had won the Caldecott Medal that year for her artwork in the book We Are Water Protectors.  The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children. She is the first Native American to win the prestigious award.  The author, Carole Lindstrom, wrote We are Water Protectors in response to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota:  In early 2016, local Native Americans began protesting construction of the oil pipeline, viewing the pipeline as a significant threat to Standing Rock's water sources, as well as a danger to important cultural sites. Beginning with a few hundred, the water protectors' ranks swelled to over 10,000 and included members of tribal nations from across the United States, as well as people from all over the world, including Tibet and Guatemala. The Trump administration eventually bulldozed over the water protectors' wishes and completed the pipeline. Oil began flowing through the pipeline in May, with a capacity to transport 750,000 barrels a day.  An enrolled member of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, Goade grew up in Juneau on the traditional lands of her people surrounded by what she describes as, “A labyrinth of over one thousand islands, endless waterways, and wild, rugged coastlines…with a kaleidoscope of glaciers and fjords, rivers and waterfalls, lakes.” Living among the water and as a Tlingit (meaning People of the Tides) the water protectors' cause touched Goade. She leapt at the opportunity to illustrate Carole's book.  “Water is a way of life here [in Alaska], and it is our life here in so many different ways. So that core theme really resonated. And I remember, like Carole, feeling helpless during the Stand at Standing Rock,” said Michaela.   Goade painted her illustrations for We Are Water Protectors over several months in 2018. Painting her vibrant watercolors in a tiny studio next to the sea, Goade, hoped her art would inspire a new generation of water protectors: “I contemplated how sorrow, frustration, and anger wove together with courage, resiliency, and hope, and how the art might speak to this gravity. In this book, it was especially crucial that all children, Native and non-Native alike, came away from the experience feeling autonomous and empowered,” she said in her Caldecott acceptance speech.  As for the Dakota Access Pipeline that inspired the book, litigation is ongoing on both sides. The pipeline has leaked at least 5 times as of 2021.   Background: Trained in graphic design and working as an art director at a marketing agency, Goade got her start illustrating children's books with 2017's Shanyaak'utlaax: Salmon Boy, a story about respecting the natural world.  “Picture books spoke my language like nothing before had. They became a way to reconnect with my culture, find my artistic voice and give back to the Native community in a unique way,” she says of the career change. “Children's books are reflections of our society. They often communicate who is visible and important in today's world. Therefore, representation that reflects the very diverse experiences of Native Americans is much needed.” Since Salmon Boy, Goade has illustrated several award-winning books, including Berry Song in 2022, her first release as an author.    Music: Theme music comes from Geovane Bruno. Other music in this episode comes from water protectors inspired by the Standing Rock protests, including Taboo, Aliza Hava, and Dee Snider.    Sources: ABC News. (2022, July 19).

If you thought we were done with location scout episodes, boy you are incorrect. We still have a few in our back pocket! We're going into the deep deep forest to ground our roots in what nature has to offer in this episode. Let's be real. Dance films taking place in the woods is a hard production. Most we've personally seen or made are not the strongest works. To be honest, forest films have a lot of limitations. To feel totally immersed, you have to take your gear and crew far away from battery supply. Available light and weather is questionable. The dangers of poisonous plants, sharp objects, wildlife, and land preservation are a few other curveballs you may face if you plan to make a film in this environment.But what is it about the woods that makes it so desirable to shoot in? Is it the feeling of being wild and free? Is it the mystical wonder that creates curiosity? Or is the land a symbol of something way bigger that only history can tell.We'll be looking at 3 very different films that highlight the forest with 3 contrasting personalities. They exhibit the forest floor beyond a backdrop, but a character in the space. You definitely need to watch as you listen, or you may miss the feeling mist and fresh air against your face.–FILMSGrief (2022) - FranceDir.

In our season three finale, we're transporting listeners to the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world and a vital carbon sink: the Tongass.  Katharine and Leah investigate the impact of decades of industrial logging in Southeast Alaska and political debates pitting ecology against economy. We learn from the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people, who have lived on and with these lands for more than 10,000 years. And we discover how a new chapter for the Tongass is taking root. This episode features Marina Anderson, deputy director of the Sustainable Southeast Partnership, and President Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson of the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. Marina and Richard describe the boom-and-bust extractive economy of the past, and they share new collaborative approaches that are now moving Southeast Alaska towards a regenerative economy — in which the forest and local communities can thrive. Along the way, we learn about key moments in the history of the Tongass: its designation as a National Forest in 1907, major pulp mill contracts in the 1950s, the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the 1990 Tongass Timber Reform Act, the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, and now, the modern-day Southeast Alaska Sustainability Strategy. It's a powerful tale that ultimately points to so much possibility. As this season comes to a close, we're curious: Have the stories on our show inspired you to take climate action or set new climate goals? We'd love to know! Please take a moment to fill out our first-ever listener survey.  Thank you to all our guests, listeners, supporters, production team, and amazing guest hosts, Nikayla Jefferson and Paasha Mahdavi, for a great season! While we're away, you can discover more meaningful ways to take part in the climate story via The All We Can Save Project.

A city lot in Juneau recently became the first land ever put into trust for the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. It's only the second tribal land put into trust in the country's largest state. The trouble is, the state believes the trust designation by the U.S. Department of Interior undermines the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, that specifically prohibits the federal government from considering land-into-trust applications in Alaska. Today on Native America Calling, we get the back story on the Alaska trust land process and what it means for Alaska Natives with Richard Peterson (Tlingit from the Kaagwaantaan clan), president of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska; Joe Nelson (Tlingit), board chair of Sealaska; and Lloyd Miller, partner of Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Miller, and Monkman.
