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. Increasing natural disasters, rising home values, and the high cost of rebuilding are putting insurance out of reach for more homeowners nationwide. Native Americans already have the highest uninsured rate for homeowners. We'll discuss alternatives to a future without coverage for people's biggest financial asset. GUESTS Leah Cristobal (Santa Ana Pueblo, Tlingit, and Tsimshian), business development specialist at Amerind Jerri Killer (Cherokee), senior deputy executive director of the Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation Michael Vanderwerker, licensed insurance broker with HUB International Insurance

This year's published works included a fictional account of Sacajawea, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated historical analysis of northern Anishinaabe people, a creepy anthology, and a sequel to a best-selling story. We'll hear from both readers and writers about the standout books by Native authors from 2023. GUESTS Esther Belin (Diné), poet, artist, educator Allison Waukau (Menominee and Navajo), president of the American Indian Library Association Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Tsimshian), author Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste.

In the 1890s, B.A. Haldane sets up a photography studio in Alaska and begins documenting the vibrant life of his Tsimshian community—even as non-Native photographers like Edward Curtis are trekking to reservations, documenting what they believe is a "vanishing race.” Quietly contradicting a president and scientists steeped in theories of white supremacy and evolution, Haldane and others offer an alternative vision only now being rediscovered. A story of resistance and resilience and what we miss by seeing only through our own lens.

Teachers, librarians, authors, and literary advocates are struggling to keep books about Native issues into public classrooms and libraries. That's because of the increasing momentum by groups intent on removing any references, however vague, that they deem to promote racial diversity. Michigan's Brandywine School District banned Laurel Goodluck's children's book Forever Cousins, an innocuous story about two Native relatives coping with living apart. We'll get an updated list of banned Native books and what's being done to get them in the hands of readers.

Cases of the sexually transmitted bacterial infection syphilis are surging around the globe. In the U.S., Native Americans have the highest rates of syphilis than any other group. So much so, that the Indian Health Service is urging tribal leaders and health facilities that work with Native populations to institute a series of measures to fight the spread of the disease. We'll explore why syphilis, that was once on decline, is making a dramatic comeback and what health officials are doing to fight it. GUESTS Dr. Loretta Christensen (Navajo), chief medical officer for the Indian Health Service Jessica Leston (Tsimshian), HIV and STI clinical programs director at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board Dr. Meghan O'Connell (citizen of the Cherokee Nation), chief public health officer for the Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board

After decades of pressure by animal rights groups and tribes, the Miami Seaquarium announced it will release the captive orca, Lolita, also known as Tokitae. The marine mammal has spent more than a half century in captivity and no one is sure how she will adapt to the wild. The Lummi Tribe considers orca to be relatives and have been pushing for Tokitae's release to what biologists believe is her home pod in the Pacific Northwest. GUESTS Squil-le-he-le Raynell Morris, (Lummi Tribe), matriarch and elder of the Lummi, board member for Friends of Toki, and vice president of the Sacred Lands Conservancy Sweetwater Nannauck (Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian), director of Idle No More Washington, traditional storyteller, dancer, singer, and activist

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!

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Dolly Chugh. Dolly is a social psychologist and management professor at the New York University Stern School of Business where she teaches MBA courses in leadership and management. Dolly is well-known for her teaching and facilitation skills. She was one of six professors chosen from thousands at New York University to receive the Distinguished Teaching Award in 2020 and one of five to receive the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Faculty Award in 2013. Dolly's research focuses on “bounded ethicality,” which she describes as the “psychology of good people.” Her work has been published in leading psychology, economics, and management journals, and cited by many books and authors. Prior to becoming an academic, Dolly worked at Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Sibson and Company, Scholastic, and Time Inc. Dolly attended Cornell University where she majored in psychology and economics for her undergraduate degree and Harvard University for her MBA and Ph.D. As you will hear in the episode, this is a really personal one for me that hits home for a reason that I haven't really talked about much on the show. Hopefully, it is well received and you understand why I brought it up today, and why I intend to talk about it more in the future. Show Notes: [00:43] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Dolly Chug. Dolly is a social psychologist and management professor at the New York University Stern School of Business where she teaches MBA courses in leadership and management.   [02:54] This is a really personal one for me that hits home for a reason that I haven't really talked about much on the show.  [04:35] Dolly shares about herself, her background, and her work. She is currently a professor. Her research focuses on the psychology of good people.  [06:36] People didn't understand how her double majors went together but they were both about human behavior.   [09:19] She shares how her book, A More Just Future came about. [12:20] After reading the Little House on the Prairie series with her children, on a family trip to visit the area she had many realizations about the history and time period. She pushed it aside at the time, but it kept coming up down the road.  [13:45] She decided she wanted to better understand our relationship with our past as well as our emotional relationship with our country. She wanted to leverage what social psychologists and other social scientists know to offer us tools so we just don't push them aside.  [16:09] We see the past as farther away and blurrier than the future.  [17:12] Understanding today requires me to understand yesterday. [19:44] When we are in a hot emotional state we are more action-oriented.  [21:40] Our minds unconsciously invest in the status quo even when it doesn't benefit us. It protects the default.  [23:08] On almost every meaningful outcome that you can think of there is a racial disparity in the United States.  [24:22] Our brains will justify the systems around us. That is the system justification theory or what she calls the “Good Guys Win Mindset.” It leads us to accept things as they are. [26:23] The cognitive task of accepting that two contradictory statements can both be true is incredibly important.  [28:13] The paradox mindset is a really powerful tool that we can use when we are trying to understand all these contradictions in our past and present.  [29:27] What is the one little thing you can do right now that might be the spark of something new and being able to make that change?  [30:07] The book was a very deep personal journey for Melina. She shares more about her journey (and that of her family) being Alaska Native (Tlingit and Tsimshian).  [32:19] The past isn't that far away.  [33:18] There are a lot of ways that the past spills into the present through our word, our beliefs, and our trauma.  [35:52] Melina shares how important preserving her native culture is for her and what she is doing with her son to preserve their culture.  [37:25] Dolly's book has helped Melina to take steps forward in preserving the culture instead of letting it simmer in her own mind.  [39:21] We all have some family history that we either cherish, don't know, or are embarrassed by. Understanding how that lives in the present is very interesting and we absolutely bring that to work with us.  [42:02] Check out Dolly's newsletter, Dear Good People.   [43:24] Melina's closing thoughts Thanks for listening.

This week For The Wild Podcast presents Part Two of a two-part conversation between guest host brontë velez and Dr. Tiffany Lethabo King. Circumferencing Dr. Tiffany Lethabo King's book The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies, brontë and Tiffany explore sacred laughter, Black and Indigenous feminism, sexuality, liberation, ceremony, and protocol. This week we are cradled to explore where Black and Indigenous relations can meet beyond the wound. Part Two spans further inquiry into shoals, the physical desire to belong to Earth, agency, eros, spiritual correction, the pleasure and potential of failure, and that which cannot be translated, but instead has to be experienced or co-witnessed to be understood. Research for this conversation was curated by jazmín calderón torres.Recorded in January of 2021, this interview is a companion piece to a project called Can I Get A Witness, a collaborative transmedia project between For The Wild and Lead to Life. Can I Get A Witness “traces two queer black latinx femmes, brontë velez and Stephanie Hewett, dancing before and being danced by the ecology, memory, and stories of the Tongass National Forests and Glacier Bay in southeast Alaska–unceded Haida, Tsimshian, Tlingit territories, scored by field recordings and music, interviews with Tiffany King, Wanda Kashudoha, and Kasyyahgei, with a Groundtruthing Oracle by jazmín calderón torres.Music by Jiordi Rosales and Ashia Karana.

Crystal Worl is fresh off of two big projects. A mural in downtown Anchorage and a commission for Google. The mural depicts and applies traditional Alaska Native traditions and symbols — the formline art of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian, for example. It's 120-feet long, the largest thing she's ever designed. The Google skin, titled “Primary Ravens,” depicts ravens, which represent the Creator and are always playing tricks. What she likes most about these pieces is that they're public. They don't belong to just one person, they belong to the communities that they're made for. So, anyone has access to them. Both designs utilize traditional and modern techniques, something Crystal makes a point of combining in her work, and they're part of a larger idea to indigenize public spaces. Crystal says that having her murals displayed downtown is significant because that's where people come together. It's where locals hang out, do business, have dinner, and it's where visitors are often introduced to Alaska. In many ways, art helps us understand a city, the land and the history of both. She says that the art of formline can help us understand the future of Alaska. It can help us visualize and plan for the future of a state that reflects our ideals and our values. Her mentor, Haida artist Robert Davidson, taught her about the power of visualization. He told her to focus on the end goal, not the process because so many things will test your strength along the way, so it's important to be persistent. To imagine herself standing in front of the finished piece and celebrating it.

She says that the art of formline can help us understand the future of Alaska. It can help us visualize and plan for the future of a state that reflects our ideals and our values. Her mentor, Haida artist Robert Davidson, taught her about the power of visualization. He told her to focus on the end goal, not the process because so many things will test your strength along the way, so it's important to be persistent. To imagine herself standing in front of the finished piece and celebrating it.

In this episode, Laura and Rinam Kowalski ask Johon Atkinson about his mental health journey and how he works to help others. Johon is from Metlakatla, Alaska and he comes from the Tsimshian and Pawnee people.

As you and the young people in your life settle down for a long winter's nap, a number of new Native children's books would make great bedtime stories, especially for those hungry little book worms. "Forever Cousins" by Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa and Tsimshian) has been getting good reviews since its October release. It focuses on a pair of young cousins and how their relationship changes when one of them moves away. "Look, Grandma! Ni Elisi!" by Art Coulson (Cherokee) weaves math and the Cherokee language with a story about a boy on a quest for the perfect container to show off his artwork. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks with authors Laurel Goodluck and Art Coulson and gets more book ideas, just in time for the holiday shopping season, from Debbie Reese (Nambé Pueblo), founder of the American Indians in Children's Literature blog.

In this newscast: Two Tlingit dance groups from Wrangell are leads at Celebration, the biannual festival honoring Tlingit, Hainda, and Tsimshian people; A large tundra fire is threatening the village of St. Mary’s; A rare lightening storm knocked out power to thousands of Homer Electric Association members Thursday morning.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Dr Chelsey Geralda Armstrong is an associate professor from SFU and the lead author of a paper, about the ancient forest gardens in Nuu-chah-nulth territory, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science. While individual species do grow in the wild, forest gardens and orchards exhibit a sophisticated understanding of cultivation and are found adjacent to ancient village sites. In a related study, Armstrong and her colleagues wrote that forest gardens largely disappeared around the time of the smallpox epidemic that swept through B.C's Indigenous communities more than 150 years ago. (In the podcast above, Armstrong mentions three generations of a family that were still transplanting hazelnuts in the 1930s and 40s.) She said it is difficult to say how long the province's Indigenous population were tending forest gardens. Some scientists believe that the Pacific Crabapple (Malus Fusca) is closely related to the Siberian crabapple, and may have been introduced to North America by the first people to cross over from Asia. Armstrong responded, “People have been moving back and forth for millennia.” She calls hazelnuts ‘the Swiss army knife of the plant world.' It is a valuable food source that can be stored year round, a medicine, a dye, and a textile that can be woven or used in boat construction. While not native to the Tsimshian areas, it is found around ancient village sites like Kitselas. The people from that area used a Proto-Salish name for hazelnuts, which originated in southern B.C. 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. She and her colleagues have dug up the 400-year-old remains of hazelnuts, crabapples, Rubus species, and vaccinium species - “all the things that grow in forest gardens” - in Tsimshian territory. They found 600 year-old remains in Coast Salish territory. In the podcast above she talks about using oral histories as a key. Soapberries are native to the interior, but has been found on the central coast. There is an oral tradition that Raven introduced it back in mythic times. “In the case of Nuu-chah-nulth territory, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, we have ethnographic records. Early settlers like Gilbert Sprout, in the 1840s, recorded that ‘natives are as careful of their crab apple orchards as we are of ours.' And so we know that the cultivation of these things, at least predate that,” explained Armstrong. “Nancy Turner, Dana Lepofsky and I recently wrote a paper on transplanting. We conclude that about 15 or 16 plants growing throughout BC are, in many cases, probably the result of ancient transplanting or historical transplanting events.” While she has not specifically studied the Discovery Islands, much of what Armstrong said may be applicable here. She's familiar with Judith Williams book ‘Clam Gardens: Aboriginal Mariculture on Canada's West Coast.' “Clam gardens are showing up everywhere, which of course is a type of mariculture cultivation and so it would make sense that if folks are managing the intertidal in such extensive and long lasting ways that they would be also doing the same with plants.” “Intertidal marsh gardens are another phenomena that have been studied and looked at. Those are a kind of Intertidal/ uppertidal systems of root cropping. Managing the landscape for things like Springbank Clover, Pacific Silverweed, and Wild Rice Root are a lot more common where you guys are. That would be another flag.” Armstrong added, “I want to make sure folks know that it's not like I went out and did this research and discovered forest gardens. These places have been known by Indigenous communities, by folks who lived in the same place, for thousands of years. A lot of the stories that I've been able to put down on paper around forest garden management (come from Indigenous sources). Elders have always talked about old villages being good places to hunt, or good places to harvest. There's this understanding that these places exist.”

Mike Dangeli is of the Nisga'a, Tlingit, Tsetsaut, and Tsimshian Nations. He is a carver and artist whose work continues and expands upon ancient art forms in order to challenge commonly held assertions concerning aboriginal art and identity. His work reflects his position as a 21st Century First Nations person and all the cultural influences, mainstream and otherwise, that make up his lived experience as a person who is heavily involved in his people's ceremonies. Working as primarily a commissioned based artist, Mike has created his art for commissions, galleries, and ceremonial pieces for his community. Mike's works include masks, drums, regalia, paintings, and limited edition silk-screened prints. Mike has completed twenty totem poles and a thirty-foot ocean going canoe. Mike is also an accomplished singer, songwriter, and dancer. In partnership with his wife Mique'l Dangeli, he leads the Git Hayetsk, an internationally renowned First Nations dance group based in Vancouver, BC. Mike and Mique'l has performed, held lectures, workshops, and carving demonstration in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, British Columbia, Ontario, Yukon, Manitoba, Austria, Malaysia, Germany and Japan. Mike has carved over 30 of the masks performed by their group. Their focus is to share the songs and dances of their ancestors as well as compose and choreograph new ones to reflect the challenges and victories of their experiences as First Nations people today.

Margaret Pfoh is Tsimshian from the Eagle Clan of the Gitga'at First Nation. She joined the non-profit housing sector 25 years ago and is the CEO of the Aboriginal Housing Management Association. She talks to us about AHMA as the first housing authority of its kind in Canada and how the model could be replicated across the country--delivering housing for Indigenous by Indigenous Peoples. 

In this episode, I am catching up with my friend La’goot Spencer Greening. La’goot is a Tsimshian leader, storyteller and academic. In addition to being a passionate hunter and forager, La’goot generously shares his perspective around the importance of Indigenous knowledge and stewardship of the land. I wanted to ask La'goot about his perspective on ceremony around the hunt. This past hunting season I witnessed a range of ceremonies that hunters practiced after taking the life of an animal. At one end of the spectrum, I overheard what sounded like a new years eve celebration as a couple of nearby hunters got lucky on the road, to being part of Miki's first hunt where her ceremony involved calm moments of contemplation as she processed the experience of taking her first animal.We start with a question about holding a ceremony after taking an animal’s life and dive deep into a conversation around rituals, that, in some traditions, start a long time before the hunt takes place.La'goot shares his experience of the role that his community, elders and mentors play in learning rituals and developing the practice of ceremony. We reflect on how having those connections can help new hunters be more present in their actions and have a mindful experience when faced with taking an animal's life.This podcast goes in a few more interesting directions. I am grateful for these insightful conversations with La'goot, and I feel fortunate to be able to share them with our listeners.

N. Anderson (Author) For more time with La'goot listen to episodes 27 and 28 of the EatWild Podcast.More about La'goot Spencer Greening:Spencer’s Ph.D. research emphasizes the importance of Indigenous knowledge and stewardship of land in the context of colonial management practices and law. Specifically, it explores how the connections among Indigenous pedagogy, language, and the sharing of place-based knowledge are linked to heritage preservation, identity, and more sustainable environmental management. Spencer is analyzing one of the  Cultural Keystone Places  in his home territory, in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, where his Elders were born and raised in a life of fluent Gitga’at culture, language, and ecological relationships. By working with their ancestral knowledge systems, he is able to highlight local Indigenous knowledge and its vital role in academic scholarship, Canadian law and policy, and the promotion of environmental awareness. His research is also unique as it is led by his community and rooted in Indigenous research methodologies and frameworks. This ensures its contributions to cultural continuity, self-determination, Indigenous research, and decolonization.   You can find La'goot here.   Please review and share this podcast!    Thanks, Dylan

Di seguito una articolo sull’Agarikon tratto da Paul Stamets.AGARIKON (Laricifomes officinalis)Laricifomes officinalis è un fungo parassita del legno dell’ordine Polyporales. Provoca la putrefazione del cuore marrone sulle conifere e si trova in Europa, Asia e Nord America, oltre che in Marocco. È comunemente noto come agarikon, così come il sapore del chinino per il suo gusto estremamente amaro. L’analisi del DNA supporta L. officinalis come distinto dal genere Fomitopsis.I frutti venivano una volta raccolti estesamente per la produzione di chinino medicinale, che si pensava contenesse, a causa del gusto amaro del cono in polvere. Tuttavia, non contengono chinino e non hanno proprietà anti-malaria .Il decadimento è comune solo in alcuni stand di vecchia crescita. I frutti o coni distintivi possono essere grandi, lunghi quanto due piedi, a forma di zoccolo o colonnari. Sono morbidi, di colore bianco-giallo quando sono giovani, diventando presto bianchi e gessosi dappertutto. Il decadimento è marrone, cubicamente incrinato, con spessi feltri bianchi in grandi fessure. Il sapore di entrambi i coni e feltri è amaro e distinto per questa specie. Un singolo cono di solito indica la completa eliminazione. Gli alberi infetti possono essere habitat per specie di nidificazione.Uso medicinaleL. officinalis era usato dagli antichi Greci per trattare la (tubercolosi) secondo gli scritti di Pedanius Dioscorides nel 65 d.C., e da alcune popolazioni indigene per curare il vaiolo. La presenza di Agarikon nei luoghi di sepoltura può indicare che un tempo il suo uso era diffuso.Il micologo Paul Stamets ha condotto numerose indagini sulle attività biologiche di Agarikon. Gli estratti di agarikon hanno dimostrato un’attività antivirale contro una serie di virus in vitro. Questa attività è stata specificamente osservata contro i virus della famiglia del vaiolo, HSV-1 e HSV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B e Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro. Altri ricercatori hanno identificato nuove cumarine clorurate nell’organismo che hanno dimostrato concentrazioni inibitorie minime molto basse contro il complesso del Mycobacterium tuberculosis . E’ comunemente utilizzato in tutto il mondo con il nome di Agarikon di supporto e integrazione nei pazienti oncologici soprattutto nei tumori solidi.ConservazioneL’Agarikon selvatico si trova solo nelle foreste a crescita antica e cresce sulle conifere, in particolare l’abete Douglas (Pseudotsuga) e il larice (Larix). La conservazione delle popolazioni selvatiche di L. officinalis è preoccupante a causa della perdita di habitat forestali antichi. Poiché è difficile mantenere l’integrità genetica a lungo termine dei ceppi coltivati ​​in laboratorio, è necessario preservare il fungo in natura.EtnomicologiaLaricifomes officinalis era importante sia a livello medico che spirituale per le popolazioni indigene della costa nord-occidentale del Pacifico del Nord America, come il Tlingit, Haida e Tsimshian. L. officinalis era indicato come “il pane dei fantasmi” nelle lingue locali e i corpi fruttiferi intagliati segnavano le tombe degli sciamani tribali .RiferimentiLa maggior parte delle medicine moderne ha origine in natura. Sebbene alcuni funghi siano stati usati nelle terapie per migliaia di anni, stiamo ancora scoprendo nuove potenziali medicine nascoste al loro interno. Per molti anni ho cercato e studiato Agarikon, un fungo insolito originario delle antiche foreste di conifere di crescita del Nord America e dell’Europa. Un grande cono di legno – un polypore perenne – Agarikon sopravvive per molti anni ed emette spore attraverso i pori biancastri dalla sua parte inferiore ogni estate (vedi foto sotto). Questo fungo a forma di alveare può essere il fungo vivente più lungo del mondo, che cresce nelle foreste temperate di conifere della California del Nord, Oregon, Washington e Columbia Britannica. Questa specie sopravvive anche, in modo precario, sui vecchi alberi di larice della crescita nelle Alpi slovene, vicino ai confini dell’Italia e dell’Austria. Agarikon ha due nomi scientifici comunemente usati: Laricifomes officinalis, preferito per gli esemplari trovati sugli alberi di larice (specie Larix) e Fomitopsis officinalis, che si applica a quelli ospitati da abete Douglas, abete rosso e cicuta.I micologi di Fungi Perfecti conservano una biblioteca culturale di 44 ceppi di questo fungo raro che sono stati raccolti in tutto il mondo negli ultimi 20 anni. Undici di questi ceppi sono stati geneticamente sequenziati e hanno contribuito alla “genetica impronta digitale” di Fomitopsis officinalis a GenBank presso il Centro Nazionale di genetica vegetale US.(tratto da articolo originale di Paul Stamets 2009)

The Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is the largest temperate rainforest left in the world and it is under attack. Wrapping around 11,000 miles of coastline, this land is the unceded territory of the Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian peoples and home to precious wild salmon, towering ancient old-growth trees, and endangered wildlife species like the Alexander Archipelago wolf. Stretching 17 million acres, the Tongass holds some of the most pristine and productive estuaries still alive on planet Earth that Trump’s Forest Service would like to hand back over to a dying logging industry. Last year, the state of Alaska announced their decision to seek exemption from Roadless Rule, a 2001 landmark conservation measure, which would remove protections for over half of the Tongass and unleash devastating resource extraction upon the land. We will not stand by and watch the beating heart of this forest be cut out and assaulted by a management system that quantifies its productivity in board feet. What happens here and now will forever mark the landscape and impact the future generations of all beings who depend on these sacred forests and waters. Described by many as a sacrifice zone and subsidized timber colony of the US, Prince of Wales Island is one of the most heavily logged areas of the Tongass; there are over 2,500 miles of logging roads on an island that’s only 135 miles long. Our guest this week, Elsa Sebastian, knows this region well, having grown up in the fishing village of Point Baker on northern Prince of Wales Island. For most of her 20’s, Elsa captained a commercial salmon troller, fishing the wild coastline of Southeast Alaska. These days, Elsa deckhands on a drift gillnetter in Bristol Bay, and spends her winters working in conservation, most recently as Executive Director of Lynn Canal Conservation. Elsa loves wildlife and spent several years working with Alaska Whale Foundation to establish a remote field station on Baranof Island, now serving as chair of the Alaska Whale Foundation Board of Directors. Elsa founded the Last Stands project in 2017 to learn more about what remains of the worlds largest coastal temperate rainforest, the Tongass. Since founding the project she’s bushwhacked and beachwalked through hundreds of miles of forest and coastline, and sailed to threatened last stands of old-growth on her home island of Prince of Wales. Elsa is a 100 ton licensed captain and adventures from a 38-ft ketch sailboat, the Murrelet. We invite you to listen deeply to Elsa’s words and fall in love with the Tongass, as she shares stories from her time in the field, alongside communities where boom and bust industry have torn people apart, and out on the water salmon fishing. Joyful and heartbreaking, Elsa’s reflections as a second-generation activist fill us with the necessity to contend with our dark, complex histories around land and rethread them into our movements. Elsa brings us the urgent truth of this time: “It really comes down to now. Will we make the decision to actually gracefully transition the Tongass away from clear cut logging? Will we take care of the people who work at that mill and provide them other jobs? Or will we just let this go as every other boom and bust community will go if it’s allowed...take the last of what stands.” ♫ Music by Erin Durant

Emily Madsen discusses her research on the relationship between English missionary William Duncan and the Tsimshian people of Metlakatla. By investigating autobiographical, literary, religious, and historical documents, Madsen looks at how Metlakatla was shaped as a utopian religious community where the concept of British identity was adopted, adapted, and subverted by the Tsimshian. The Curious Case of Metlakatla, the Alaska Native Community Led by England's Only Missionary to Alaska, unveils a faacinating look at British and American religious history According to Emily Madsen, the Alaskan community of Metlakatla, established after William Duncan feuded with the Anglican Church over the Tsimshian's land rights to Metlakatla's original location in British Columbia, is still there and still active. Its history is undeniably impacted by William Duncan, who lived with the Tsimshian from when he was in his twenties to when he was in his eighties. Madsen looks at the material record of this religious intersection point to consider how the Anglican religion and the Tsimshian religion overlapped in ways that were fascinating to the Tsimshian and sometimes unsettling to Duncan's Anglican superiors. Emily Madsen teaches at UAA in the Department of English. She received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The research for this talk was funded by an Elizabeth Tower Faculty Award.

This week... When words fail: Especially when one hears about the enormous equity gap in federal funding between French and Inuit languages in Nunavut. Plus... Putting us on the map—literally. Google announces that users of its Maps app will now get to see thousands more Indigenous communities. But will that hide as much as it reveals?   Back again at the roundtable are Karyn Pugliese, APTN's Executive Director of News and Current Affairs, plus Lisa Girbav, a radio broadcaster and student from the Tsimshian territory.

This week: why things aren't okay in Thunder Bay. In the wake of two more Indigenous teens found dead in this northwestern Ontario city’s waterways, their home First Nations are sounding alarm bells, but local police maintain there is no crisis. And WTF is a MOU, and why should we care? We unpack the recent signing of a joint memorandum of understanding between the Canadian government and the Assembly of First Nations. Back again are Karyn Pugliese, APTN's Executive Director of News and Current Affairs with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and Lisa Girbav, a radio broadcaster from the Tsimshian territory and a student at UBC. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.

Continuing our series on “Losing the Lamanites,” we interview Sarah Newcomb who descends from the Tsimshian of the NW Coastal Tribes. In this interview we cover: *How Sarah struggled as a youth knowing that she came from the ‘Lamanites,’ who had turned their backs on God. *How she worked her way through college in Rexburg, ID, acquired a degree in Communications/Journalism, and how her new knowledge around sourcing served as an impetus to her questioning her faith. *How her husband ignored the Mormon admonition against interracial marriage, out of love for Sarah. *Her avoidance of dancing (and other native customs), as they were practiced by the ’Lamanites’ in the Book of Mormon. *Her avoidance of the sun, as a way to ensure that her skin would stay as light as possible. *How she used her knowledge of sourcing (seeking original documentation) to discover many of the problems with LDS church history and doctrine, all before discovering the CES Letter. *How Mormon Stories Podcast validated her feelings, and provided strength and a sense of community during her faith transition. *How she now embraces her life in the sun, and is on a journey to connect to the heritage and identity she felt forced to distance herself from while a member of the LDS Church. We thank Sarah for sharing her powerful, beautiful story and know that it will touch lives!

This week: Questioning curious carriages of justice in Canadian courts. Questions like, how is it that a victim of a brutal assault in Alberta not only gets locked up in remand against her will but was made to testify cuffed and chained?! And how did an Inuk grandmother from Labrador end up in an all-men’s prison for opposing a controversial hydroelectric mega-project? Returning to the roundtable are Karyn Pugliese, APTN Executive Director of News and Current Affairs, and Lisa Girbav, a radio broadcaster from the Tsimshian territory and a student at UBC. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys talk about a recent Texas witness at Hutto who reported watching a sphere shaped UFO near ground level emitting a green light that appeared to be searching for something, then how scientist's still don't know what causes that knuckle cracking sound. After the break Cam gets into the unusual Alaska legend of the Kushtaka or Otterman! The Tlingit and Tsimshian peoples, indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest Coast of the United States and Southeastern Alaska, have a robust folklore surrounding a mythical and maniacal trickster race called the Kushtaka, which roughly translates as “land otter people”, a shape-shifting species of otter that is rumored to spend a lot of its time trying to lure unsuspecting humans away from their homes in order to turn them into more Kushtaka. Finally, after the second break Kyle brings up the latest information regarding a missing Nazi Ghost Train found in Poland. Thanks for listening to Expanded Perspectives.

Tsimshian carver David Boxley created a totem pole for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Boxley, who grew up in Metlakatla, Alaska, and his son finished the work in the museum's Potomac atrium, where the Tsimshian dance group Git–Hoan (People of the Salmon) celebrated the unveiling. “There’s few of us,” Boxley said of the Tsimshian. “But we're alive and well. We wanted to let people know we’re alive and well.” The totem features a chief holding salmon, a group of villagers, and an eagle—the symbol of Boxley’s clan.
