Native Americans have worked hard for decades to counter the stereotypes perpetuated in old movies and television shows about the American West. Now a new generation of Native technology experts worry that artificial intelligence is eroding that work. Scores of AI-generated images and videos are flooding people's social media For You pages. The creations are within easy reach of anyone typing a prompt into any AI generator that scrapes information from millions of sources. Often posted by anonymous creators, the products of those prompts present vaguely Native visual and audio characteristics with little to no authentic cultural connections. Along the way they generate hundreds of thousands of admirers. We'll talk about the work to counter the looming onslaught of AI cultural appropriation.

Keeya Wiki (Yurok and Maori) is not yet old enough to vote, but she is making waves in official discussions about climate policy and environmental sustainability. She was among a group of young people who made a historic kayak journey down the Klamath River from its source in the Cascade Mountains to its confluence with the Pacific Ocean after the largest dam removal project in history. It was both a celebration of her tribe's accomplishments and a statement about what she sees as the future of successful, tribally-driven environmental policy. Since then she has also served as a delegate to the U.N.'s recent climate summit in Brazil. We'll hear about her determined and creative intersection of cultural knowledge and modern climate activism.

The federal panel that oversees commercial and subsistence fishing in Alaska is putting a hard limit on the number of chum salmon that are caught — and wasted — by commercial pollack trawlers. It is a long awaited — and controversial — decision by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council after years of outcry by tribes to address the factors that go into the disappearing runs of salmon that Alaska Native people have always relied on for survival. Although presented as a compromise, the bycatch limit is seen as a severe blow by commercial fishers, who say such restrictions could be catastrophic to the industry. The decision comes as the state also instituted severe regional restrictions on king salmon fishing because of low numbers. They are among the latest measures to address the big and complex ecological threats to what is historically the most productive salmon fishery in the world. GUESTS Charles Wright (Athabascan), secretary/treasurer for Tanana Chiefs Conference Jonathan Samuelson (Yup'iaq and Dene), vice-chair of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Craig Chythlook (Yup'ik), executive director of the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Terese Vicente, policy and programs director for the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Full statement from the Alaska Pollock Fishery Alliance (APFA) mentioned in today’s show: “The Council's decision reflects the seriousness of the challenges facing Western Alaska chum salmon and the complexity of managing a dynamic fishery. The pollock industry respects the Council process and remains committed to working within this new framework while continuing to invest in science-based, real-time avoidance tools that have already delivered meaningful reductions in Western Alaska chum bycatch. We share the goal of protecting salmon and the communities that depend on them while also providing the flexibility to respond to real-time fishing conditions. This allows the fleet to harvest its pollock while providing important benefits to Alaskan coastal and fishery dependent communities. While the alternative chosen establishes a restrictive cap and includes elements of fixed closures that may inhibit responsiveness to changing conditions, we understand the Council's desire for strong incentives and clear parameters for management. We adhere to the principles of continuous improvement and will work with managers, scientists, and engaged partners to ensure the use of all available tools, including the use of real-time genetic analysis, to achieve meaningful conservation outcomes.” Break 1 Music: Canoe Song (song) Chenoa (artist) Spirit of Salishan (album) Break 2 Music: Digital Winter (song) Ya Tseen (artist) Stand On My Shoulders (album)

Ya Tseen pushes the boundaries of the musical collaboration's signature psych-pop sound with their latest album, “Stand on My Shoulders.” It's the second full-length album led by musician, visual artist, and totem carver Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit/Unangax̂) under the Seattle-based Sub Pop Records label. The music features diverse collaborations from the indie rock group Portugal. The Man, famed singer-songwriter Meshell Ndegeocello, and the experimental hip hop artist Pink Siifu. It explores themes of kinship and collectivism but also pays homage to Galanin's late father – lauded Tlingit silver carver and musician Dave Galanin. Cochemea Gastelum‘s latest offering, “Vol. III: Ancestros Futuros“, completes an album trilogy that explores dreams, oral history, memories (both real and imagined), and Gastelum's Yaqui identity. The new recording brings together the fruits of Gastelum's 25 years in the music business performing with the likes of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, avant-garde jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp, and the popular rap-duo Run the Jewels.

Do Native Americans need more encouragement to consume saturated fats? Native nutritionists are wondering how the new federal dietary guidelines just unveiled by U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. intersects with decades of scientific research urging the population with the highest rates of heart disease to limit their saturated fat intake. The new federal food pyramid shows up in recommendations for programs like Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Head Start, Indian Health Service, and the National School Lunch Program. Tribes in the Pacific Northwest are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to seals taking a bite out of the salmon populations they worked decades to preserve. The seals are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. They feast on fish that on which the tribes rely. We will look at how this situation affects tribal treaty rights and what tribes are doing in response. A handful of organizations are working to strengthen traditional connections between urban Native residents and buffalo. Organizers in Chicago and Denver are among those working to put the animals closer to Native people who might not otherwise have exposure to a significant traditional source of food.

Nicholas Galanin is a Tlingit and Unangax̂ artist and activist whose work includes sculpture, installation, music and performance — and it's always in conversation with history, land and power. He creates art that honors Indigenous traditions and confronts the structures that have sought to erase them; it challenges colonial narratives while inviting reflection on language, identity and the legacy of removal. He says that art can be a driver of change, a way to shift perspectives and push systems toward accountability and transformation. Whether he's calling out institutional inaction, reclaiming ancestral knowledge or amplifying a suppressed language, his work insists that Indigenous culture is not a relic of the past, it's a living, evolving force for justice and transformation. Nicholas is also a musician, a collaborator in projects like Ya Tseen and Indian Agent. He talks about music as something fleeting but emotionally precise, capable of transmitting what words often can't — that it's a mindful practice rooted in listening, gratitude and presence. He describes the creative process as a kind of alchemy, where different skills and experiences come together in unexpected ways to produce something that transcends the moment. Be it through art or music, his work challenges artificial boundaries — between genres, between people and between past and future. He unravels divisions that are often rooted in systems of control rather than necessity, and makes room for something more fluid and expansive — something grounded in genuine connection, shaped by feeling and driven by the possibility of imagining a different way forward.

Nicholas Galanin is the force behind musical projects Ya Tseen, Indian Agent, and Silver Jackson. Based out of Sitka, Alaska, he creates art – both musical and physical – from and for his Tlingit community. Continuum is core to Galanin's being. Being of both Tlingit and Unangax̂ heritage, Galanin's work is concerned with serving his community and creating space for their voices, art, and culture in a world that has intentionally tried to strip it away. His collaborations as part of the Black Constellation represent an important statement of solidarity between Black and Indigenous artistic communities. In this episode, we journey with Galanin through his numerous musical projects, his HomeSkillet festival and label, and some of his various exhibits and large scale art installations, like the “Never Forget” piece that saw him placing the words “INDIAN LAND” in Palm Springs in the style of the Hollywood sign. Galanin's work is a mirror to the past while reflecting toward the future. Listen to a playlist of music from the episode and read the transcript on KEXP.org.

Ya Tseen - "Knives (feat. Portugal. The Man)" from the 2021 album Indian Yard on Sub Pop. Originally from Sheet'ka (Sitka, Alaska), artist Nicholas Galanin brings the influence of his Tlingit and Unangax̂ heritage to his spacey dance pop. Under the name Ya Tseen (which simultaneously translates to “be alive” and references his Tlingit name Yeil Ya Tseen), he uses his music to advocate for "Indigenous sovereignty, racial, social, and environmental justice, for present, and future generations." Today's Song of the Day is not about weaponry, but surrender. In a press release, Galanin shares, "“Knives is a love song about softening a calloused heart and experiencing the edge of magnetic desire, romantic connection, vulnerability, and risk that love opens us up to.” The song features guest vocals from John Baldwin Gourley of fellow Alaska-formed band Portugal. the Man, who he considers "friends and allies for social and environmental justice."

À mâmawi musique cette semaine, Moe nous présente Nicholas Galanin, qui a produit des oeuvres sous différents noms d'artiste, dont le plus récent est Ya Tseen. Accompagné d'une panoplie de collaborateurs, l'artiste multidisciplinaire d'Alaska aux origines tlingit et unangax̂ explore une musique électronique sensuelle aux relents de hip-hop sur son plus récent album « Indian Yard ». Chronique réalisée avec Moon M. O, assistant•e à la recherche.

We kick off this week with a fresh party track from the electronic artist and Irish Londoner who goes as O'Flynn. Then off to Brisbane, for a single from The Goon Sax. (Great band name, that!) Next, an impressive single from Alaska's Ya Tseen teaming up with Portugal. The Man. Then some masterly new modern funk from Manchester, England's A Certain Ratio. Our archive gem this week comes from Tame Impala's fine debut album InnerSpeaker, which recently turned 10 years old. 

Indien dʹAlaska, lʹartiste Nicholas Galanin vient de sortir un album totalement inclassable intitulé " Indian Yard ". Une œuvre ample et colorée entre hip hop, électronique et rock psychédélique, qui questionne très directement le pouvoir blanc aux Etats-Unis. Une chronique de Michel Masserey

Gastgeber Andreas Müller diskutiert mit Elissa Hiersemann und Kai Müller über diese Alben: Monsters von Sophia Kennedy // Second Line: En Electro Revival von Dawn Richard // Hinüber von Mine // Indian Yard von Ya Tseen.

"Indian Yard", das Debütalbum von Ya Tseen wird morgen erscheinen. Der Künstler heißt eigentlich Nicholas Galanin und wohnt in Alaska. Nicholas Galanin macht schon länger Musik, aber sein Projekt Ya Tseen ist ganz frisch. Auf dem Album mixt Ya Tseen Electronic mit Indiepop und Hip Hop. Die Gästeliste reicht von Portugal The Man, über Shabazz Palace bis hin zu Nick Hakim. "Indian Yard" ist ein sehr abwechslungsreiches Album geworden, dass durch die Gäste immer wieder Überraschungen bereit hält und eine klare Botschaft gegen Rassismus und Hass aussendet.

Over the last 3 years, Nicholas Galanin and Otis Calvin III have been making Indian Yard, the debut record from the project Ya Tseen on Sub Pop records.  We hear how the two veteran collaborators made the record both remotely and in person,  the importance of both processes and why trust, generosity and patience made the project flow.  They also discuss why "back to normal" may not be a good thing for everyone and why we need to take a break from  the internet and engage in in-person as soon as possible.  Music by Ya Tseen and Joe PlummerEpisode sponsored by Izotope, Izotope.com and Caddis, Caddislife.com

My interview with Tlingit/Unangax̂ artist, musician, and founder of HomeSkillet Records out of Sitka, Alaska, Nicholas Galanin. Nicholas (Yéil Ya-Tseen) shares his experiences with family during covid, his new album in progress, and collaborating remotely. We also discuss the theme of Indigenous erasure in his art and the album designs for both his label and his band Indian Agent––––––Support the show (https://www.venmo.com/Clarita-Hinojosa)
