Podcasts about Tlingit

In early May, on the morning of the kuu.éex --a nightlong ceremony in celebration of Tlingit ways of life, to honor relatives, and in this specific gathering, the herring -- we circled round a coffee table, folks on the floor, in chairs, cozied up on the couch and listened to Deloole & Rochelle talk about protecting Indigenous sovereignty in the Yukon river water shed. They share about the importance of art, fighting big gas & oil companies, feeding their families, how to be an ally in their struggle... and calls to action, including a peaceful protest & media push this coming Friday, June 20, a Day of Prayer for Salmon. We want to bring attention to this vital work as this administration escalates the targeting of public - ie: stolen - land.Deloole & Rochelle illuminate the many ways white settler colonial violence extracts from, steals, and harms indigenous people, the lands we live on, and our relatives – from herring, salmon & moose, to trees, forests and rivers – all of us across this continent.Amidst violent ICE raids on Tongva land & across Turtle Island, & escalation of the genocide in Palestine, we bring you this heartfelt conversation from Lingit Aani, Tlingit land in Sitka, Alaska, with Deloole Erickson & Rochelle Adams, who organize with many groups, including Native Movement.Stay tuned for an upcoming series in collaboration with the Herring Protectors and Movement Generation, deepening into many themes shared on this episode.Thank you to Movement Generation for inviting so many of us to come together across the Salmon nation last summer, seeding generative relationships across colonially imposed borders. We are excited to keep building together.FOLLOWFB: Defend the Sacred AK | IG: Defend the Sacred AKFB: Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish CommissionFB: Native Peoples Action | IG: Native Peoples ActionFB: Native Movement | IG: Native Movement FB Group: Doyon Shareholders for Protecting Our Lands & Waters

But before any change can be made official, the townspeople will have the final say; For a few weeks in February, Safety Roadhouse hosts Iditarod mushers making their way to Nome.

Three Alaska Native tribes filed a lawsuit to stop a controversial gold mining operation east of Nome. The tribes say a permit just granted by the U.S. Corps of Engineers will allow the destruction of salmon habitat and other important environmental elements in a pristine estuary. The mining process involves extracting ore from material dredged from river and ocean beds. On the other side of the state, residents of Wrangell are concerned about a gold mine just over the border in Canada. A new report finds heavy metals in groundwater on the Alaska side. GUESTS Esther Aaltséen Reese (Tlingit), tribal administrator for the Wrangell Cooperative Association and president of the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission Deilah Johnson (Iñupiaq), tribal resources director and council member for the Village of Solomon Stephanie Barclay, professor of law at Georgetown Law School Vanessa Nosie (San Carlos Apache), member of Apache Stronghold

The San Carlos Apache Tribe is fighting to stop the planned June 16, 2025 transfer to the sacred Oak Flat land in Arizona to the companies that intend to turn it into a copper mine. There's a flurry of activity around the ongoing fight over the land, known to the Apache as Chi'chil Biłdagoteel. The Trump Administration announced its intention to rush the land swap involving 2,400 acres of land to hasten the two mile wide open pit mine. A federal judge this month halted the transfer, saying the tribes have a prevailing interest. San Carlos Apache just requested an injunction to stop any movement until the legal issues are settled. We'll also get perspectives on what needs to be considered if, as President Donald Trump suggests, the federal government moves ahead with re-opening the prison on Alcatraz Island in California.

He was born in Siberia in 1797 to a clerical family, and became a married parish priest in Irkutsk. A devout explorer, John Kriukov, told him of the great spiritual needs among the Russian and native peoples in Alaska, then Russian territory. Moved to serve Christ in this very difficult environment, he and his family arrived in Alaska in 1824. He quickly learned the Aleut language and worked humbly and tirelessly among the Aleuts. His spiritual classic, An Indication of the Way to the Kingdom of Heaven, was originally written in Aleut and later translated into many languages.   While he was visiting Russia in 1838, his wife died; one year later he was tonsured a monk and given the name of Innocent (he had been Fr John Veniaminov). Almost immediately after his tonsuring he was, without warning, raised to the rank of Bishop of all Eastern Siberia and Russian America, probably the largest diocese in the world at that time. Returning to Alaska, he continued his missionary work with vigor, often traveling among Aleut and Tlingit settlements in his own kayak. Wherever he went, he found the Alaskan people hungry for the faith, and his labors bore rich fruit which is still obvious today: Alaska has more Orthodox churches per capita than any other state.   In old age he was made Metropolitan of Moscow, head of the entire Russian Orthodox Church. His concern for Christian mission was undiminished, and as Metropolitan he created the Orthodox Missionary Society. He reposed on Holy Saturday of 1879.

In this episode, Guy Lawrence talked with Bonnie, an energy worker specializing in clearing foreign energies and helping individuals achieve emotional and spiritual liberation. They discussed the concept of multidimensional existence, where individuals live multiple lives across different realms simultaneously. The conversation covered the importance of surrendering to and understanding deep emotions to achieve true healing and freedom. Guy and Bonnie delved into the shifts occurring on our planet, encouraging listeners to face their inner turmoil rather than avoiding it. Bonnie also shared her personal journey of overcoming severe early-life trauma, providing insight into her development as a healer. The episode explored practical ways to connect with one's higher self and other aspects of existence, underlining that everyone carries the potential for profound inner transformation.

Even before the recent wildfires in California, soaring home insurance rates were pushing homeowners to go without. Now State Farm, the country's largest home insurer, is asking for a 22% rate hike in California. That's on top of a 30% increase request last summer.

Living in Alaska has given Beans the unique opportunity to investigate Alaskan cryptids and mysteries such as the abandoned town Portlock, in Port Chatham, Alaska. Beans has participated in expeditions to other Bigfoot hotspots around the country and has appeared in multiple documentaries and television shows. Beans currently hosts the podcast Alasquatch and has written the first non-fiction book on the subject of Port Chatham: Abandoned the History and Horror of Port Chatham, Alaska. You can find him at his website www.alasquatchpodcast.com   Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature that has been a part of North American folklore for centuries. In Alaska, sightings of this elusive creature have contributed to the state's rich tapestry of mysterious stories. Often described as a large, ape-like being covered in dark hair, Bigfoot is said to inhabit the dense forests, remote mountain ranges, and vast wilderness areas of Alaska. The state's rugged terrain, with its dense woods, snow-covered peaks, and expansive swamps, makes it an ideal setting for such a cryptid to remain hidden from human eyes. Many locals and visitors claim to have seen large footprints, heard eerie howls, or found strange hair samples that they believe belong to Bigfoot. Native Alaskan tribes, including the Tlingit and the Athabaskan, have long had their own versions of the creature in their oral traditions, describing forest-dwelling beings that are often seen as spiritual or supernatural entities. The legend of Bigfoot continues to thrive in Alaska, where it is part of a larger fascination with the unexplained and the wild frontier. Whether myth or reality, the idea of Bigfoot adds to the allure and mystery of Alaska's untamed wilderness. The presence of Bigfoot in Alaskan folklore is not a new phenomenon. Indigenous groups, such as the Tlingit, Athabaskan, and Haida peoples, have long had their own traditions of wild, forest-dwelling beings that bear similarities to the modern-day Bigfoot legend. These creatures are often viewed not just as physical beings but also as spiritual entities with deep ties to the natural world. The region's isolation and vast expanses of wilderness contribute to the mystery surrounding these sightings, as the wilderness remains largely unexplored. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot in Alaska or anywhere else, the continuous reports of strange encounters keep the legend alive. Whether rooted in myth, misidentification, or a genuine unknown, Bigfoot remains a captivating part of Alaska's culture and its allure as a land of mystery and discovery.

The U.S. Navy is scheduled to formally apologize to Alaska Native residents of Angoon, Alaska, 142 years after they bombarded the village. The Navy also just apologized to the residents of Kake for a similar assault some years earlier. Both deadly assaults on the villages came after the deaths of Tlingit residents prompting a series of escalating actions. The shellings occurred during a time of tense interactions between Alaska Natives, the U.S. military, and outside corporate interests. Navy and village leaders alike say the apologies will help healing these many years later.

Tlingit warriors enjoyed an initial victory in defending their home against Russians intent on re-establishing their settlement in Sitka. But after first driving the Russians back and wounding their leader, Alexander Baranov, in the first week of October, 1804, the Tlingits concluded they couldn't sustain another armed assault. They moved to the far end of the island that now bears Baranov's name, but remained contentious cohabitants with the Russians, keeping the settlers on guard. Even though the Tlingits lost, the battle was a landmark event that influenced Russian settlement that came after. We'll hear about the Battle of 1804, and also the 1869 American assault on the Village of Kake, for which the U.S. Navy just formally apologized. GUESTS Louise Brady (citizen of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska), Kiks.ádi clan member Yeidikook'áa Dionne Brady-Howard, (citizen of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska), Kiks.ádi clan member and educator Joel Jackson (Tlingit), president of the Organized Village of Kake

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes Edzi'u, a Tahltan and Tlingit artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Edzi'u is an innovative songwriter and composer who paints stories of the past, present and future with textures, elders' stories, words, and their ethereal voice. Edzi'u is the gentlest balance of hard and soft, a non-binary 2-spirit Indigiqueer femme, their strength of identity resonates in their music to create a fullness of fierce spirit combined with an elegant grace. Their new music is full of thick synths, drums dripping with reverb and a mix of a modern take on 80s and 90s sounds that blends the nostalgic essence of Stevie Nicks, the raw emotional depth of Sharon Van Etten, and the atmospheric electronic textures of DRAMA. The result is a sonic river of pain and beauty that sweetly soars into a singular, healing journey. Tiokasin talks with Edzi'u about their new EP, “Tunnel Vision,” a poignant exploration of the cruelty of heartbreak, the painful truth of mistreatment, and the radiant journey of resurgence. With vulnerability and fortitude, each track lingers with the listener like a cherished memory. Edzi'u invites listeners into an auditory sanctuary where music serves as both refuge and revelation. In this sacred space, reclamation of self stands as the most powerful act of all. Edzi'u and their artistry is a beacon of auntie joy for queer and Indigenous communities and beyond, embodying resilience, grace, and unapologetic authenticity.

Crystal Worl, an artist of Tlingit and Athabaskan heritage, captivates us with stories of her artistic journey and the cultural threads that weave through her work. Raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, she learned the intricate crafts of beading and sewing from her mother and grandmother, embedding her pieces with the rich symbolism of clan crests and the duality of raven and eagle moieties. Her art, a vibrant fusion of traditional form line designs and modern techniques, invites us to explore the balance and responsibility inherent in Tlingit society.Crystal's path has been profoundly shaped by her mentorship with the esteemed Haida artist Robert Davidson. Through his tutelage, she mastered the technical skills of form line design and embraced the essential philosophies of balance, patience, and visualization. These lessons have deepened her work, allowing her to modernize clan stories and examine the relationships between people, land, and animals. Crystal's reflections on the importance of mentors and the enduring wisdom they impart offer valuable insights into the intersection of tradition and contemporary art practices.The episode also highlights Crystal's impactful public art ventures, including a significant mural of Elizabeth Peratrovich in Juneau. She shares the rewarding yet challenging journey of creating large-scale public art, emphasizing the power of community support and collaboration. With exciting future projects on the horizon, such as pop-up shops and a major commission at the Seattle airport, Crystal continues to innovate and inspire through her storytelling and artistry, showcasing the dynamic evolution of Indigenous art in the modern world.

Tourism is big money for many tribes and individual entrepreneurs. But it also has the potential to diminish people's quality of life. Residents in Juneau, Alaska are considering a limit on the dozens of cruise ships that unload thousands of visitors there every summer. Among other things, critics say the steady stream of outsiders detracts from what they enjoy about living there. Some tribes have closed off tourist attractions altogether. We'll find out about “overtourism” and ways to avoid it. GUESTS Sherry Rupert (Paiute and Washoe), CEO of American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association (AIANTA) Joe Nelson (Tlingit), chair of Sealaska Corporation and co-chair of the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) Cory Mann (citizen of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska), business owner in Juneau, Alaska Ilihia Gionson (Native Hawaiian), public affairs officer for the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority

In this episode of Don't Call Me Resilient, we take a look at the ongoing struggle for land rights and some of the women on the front lines of that battle. These women are the land defenders fighting to protect land against invasive development. Both our guests have stood up to armed forces to protect land.Their work is about protecting the environment. But it is much more than that: it is fundamentally about survival and about the right to live openly on what is stolen land.Ellen Gabriel has been resisting land encroachment for 31 years. She was at the centre of the 1990 Kanehsatake resistance, (known as the Oka crisis), a 78-day standoff to protect ancestral Kanien'kéha:ka (Mohawk) land in Québec.It was a moment in history that many say helped wake them up to Indigenous issues.Anne Spice is a professor of geography and history at Toronto Metroppolitan University. Anne, who is Tlingit from Kwanlin Dun First Nation, was recently on the front lines in the defence of Wet'suwet'en land. After she was arrested on Wet'suwet'en territory last year, a viral video showed the RCMP pointing a gun at the land defenders.Anne can be heard shouting, we are unarmed and we are peaceful.These are the moments that capture our collective attention. But Ellen and Anne's work goes well beyond what the cameras show.For more resources and information about this, go here: SHOW NOTESA full transcript of this episode can be found here: TRANSCRIPT

We didn't exactly follow the normal episode pattern. But that's okay. Bob taught us about how the history of his people has brought him where he is and makes him who he is. His ancestors and their stories really matter. And maybe we don't have a direct "link" with the stories in The Book of Mormon, those stories really matter and bring us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where we are and who we are. I also loved his description of all the different ways songs have come to him and his family. Each song has its own story and influence. I think the analogy there is wonderful for each of us--that our "stories" can be influenced and completed through different means. It was wonderful to talk with Bob. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6bYhZpIX3WwOT74fx3f9dN?si=NrEWTcCFS-aYODnnCRKJqw Here is his band's Spotify link.

Send us a Text Message.We are headed to the United States' largest state by area, Alaska, known as the Last Frontier State. This might go down in history as Kenzie's favorite episode because she gets to talk about otters the WHOLE time. She shares with us the legend of the Kushtaka, a giant otter-man that comes from Tlingit folklore. Legend says the Kushtaka will trick you into following them deep into the Alaskan wilderness, only to never be seen or heard from again. Then, Lauren redeems herself and concludes the story of the Devil's Chair. Afterwards, she tells us about the SS Baychimo, a steel-hulled, 1,322 ton cargo steamer built in 1914 in Sweden and owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. She became a notable ghost ship along the Alaskan coast, being abandoned in 1931 and seen numerous times since then until her last sighting in 1969. This episode will make you think twice about exploring Alaska's vast wilderness, especially alone.--Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl--Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

He was born in Siberia in 1797 to a clerical family, and became a married parish priest in Irkutsk. A devout explorer, John Kriukov, told him of the great spiritual needs among the Russian and native peoples in Alaska, then Russian territory. Moved to serve Christ in this very difficult environment, he and his family arrived in Alaska in 1824. He quickly learned the Aleut language and worked humbly and tirelessly among the Aleuts. His spiritual classic, An Indication of the Way to the Kingdom of Heaven, was originally written in Aleut and later translated into many languages.   While he was visiting Russia in 1838, his wife died; one year later he was tonsured a monk and given the name of Innocent (he had been Fr John Veniaminov). Almost immediately after his tonsuring he was, without warning, raised to the rank of Bishop of all Eastern Siberia and Russian America, probably the largest diocese in the world at that time. Returning to Alaska, he continued his missionary work with vigor, often traveling among Aleut and Tlingit settlements in his own kayak. Wherever he went, he found the Alaskan people hungry for the faith, and his labors bore rich fruit which is still obvious today: Alaska has more Orthodox churches per capita than any other state.   In old age he was made Metropolitan of Moscow, head of the entire Russian Orthodox Church. His concern for Christian mission was undiminished, and as Metropolitan he created the Orthodox Missionary Society. He reposed on Holy Saturday of 1879.
