Alaska</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> will feature Alaska filmmakers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> from across the state.

We'll discuss it right</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> now on Alaska.

Insight</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> good evening.

Tonight, we'll</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> talk with Alaskans featured in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the new Revision Alaska series</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> We'll also meet some of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> producers and videographers to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> talk about what this new show</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> aims to accomplish.

But before</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we begin that conversation,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we'll start off with some of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this week's top stories from</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Alaska Public Media's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Collaboratives Statewide News</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Network.

to foreign nationals</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> coming from Russia were</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> detained on Alaska's St..</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Lawrence Island earlier this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> week before being taken to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Anchorage.

The two Unidan to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> find men arrived by boat on</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Tuesday in Gambell, a Siberian</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Yup'ik community of around six</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> hundred people on the Western</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> edge of St.. Lawrence Island</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in the Bering Sea.

Gamble is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> about 200 miles southwest of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> film and just a few dozen</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> miles from the coast of Russia</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the U.S. Coast Guard said the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> two men were transferred to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Anchorage.

The Department of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Homeland Security and the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Office of Customs and Border</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Protection in Alaska are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> taking the lead on this case.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this summer.

Seventy nine</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> million sockeye salmon return</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to Bristol Bay, the largest</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> run on record.

But over the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> past half century, there has</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> been a dramatic shift in who</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> fishes commercial commercially</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in Bristol Bay.

Local permit</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ownership has declined sharply</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Alaskans voted in nineteen</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> seventy two to implement a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> limited entry system.

It</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> restricts the number of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> commercial fishing permits</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> around the state, including</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Bristol Bay.

But since limited</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> entry began, local permit</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ownership in Bristol Bay has</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> declined by 50 percent.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Resident now own around one</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> fifth of the drift permits.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> The Anchorage School District</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is considering closing schools</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to help fill a giant budget</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> deficit next year.

School</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> closures are just one option</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> on the table and faces a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> budget gap of at least sixty</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> eight million dollars.

One of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the big reasons is the decline</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in student enrollment over the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> last ten years.

Enrollment has</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> dropped by 5000 students.

Now</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there are eighteen schools in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the district operating at less</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> than sixty five percent</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> capacity.

Beyond enrollment,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the district will look at the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> condition of school buildings,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> money spent on recent repairs</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and how combining or closing</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> certain schools could impact</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> district bus routes.

Now onto our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> conversation for this evening.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Katie O's new series titled</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Revision Alaska wants to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> empower Alaskans to document</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and sometimes rewrite the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stories of their communities</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> as the station notes on their</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> website, national headlines</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> often approach Alaska through</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the lens of loss and crisis.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> painting residents as passive</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> victims of systemic racism.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> climate change or historical</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> trauma.

Revision in Alaska</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> approaches the challenges</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> facing Alaska through the eyes</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of those working on solutions,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> offering visions of social</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> equity, cultural resurgence,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ECan transition and hope.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> We'll start off with a few</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> minutes of the first episode</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of Season one.

For centuries,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> indigenous artifacts have been</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stolen and put on display in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> distant museums around the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> world, including a sacred</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> textiles of southeast</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> indigenous peoples known as</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Chilcott Robe's.

The episode,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> titled Weaving Our Identity,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> showcases a collaboration of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> indigenous weavers, chemists</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and Alaska State Museum</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> curators who are researching</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> historic and new yarn dying</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> techniques.

Quito's sparks</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> produce a story.

Let's watch.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Weaving kept link.

It is like</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> merging in this universal</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> consciousness.

Spiritual area</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of being human.

We talk about</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the chill cat dancing blanket</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> as a veil between worlds like</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the closest we can get to the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> spirit realm without crossing</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> over.

It's a practice in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> meditation and also surrender</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> because you can come to the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> work thinking, I'm going to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> make a particular shape.

I a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> finace this particular ovoid</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and if I'm pushing my will on</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the work, I'm going to screw</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it up.

But if I can take my</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ego and my will out of it, and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> surrender to what this being</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> wants to become kind like</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> shaping a human, the work</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> seems to come to life</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> effortlessly.

It's going to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> come to this during those</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> hours at any given point since</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the early nineteen hundreds,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there have been fewer than</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> twelve chill cat dancing</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> blanket makers in the north</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> west coast.

A single blanket</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> takes six to eight weeks of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> preparation even before</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> training the first steps,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> putting in the first woven row</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Having someone make your loom</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> for you or harvesting cedar</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> bark, prepping the wool,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> whether it's mountain goat or</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Merino, spinning the cedar and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> wool together, washing it,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> measuring it, hanging it on</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the loomba just to be able to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> start weaving.

I've been part</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of this Kalkat di working</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> group for a couple of years</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> now, meeting once a month,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> getting together as kind of a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> brain trust, all of us</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> throwing ideas like what were</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the blues, what were the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> yellows.

So but look, this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with baking soda and that ones</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with no baking soda.

So a lot</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> art and science are things</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that are sometimes kept</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> separate and our academic</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> structure in your American</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> learning methods.

But they</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> don't tend to be separated in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this way.

and a lot of other</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> cultures.

And so conservation</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> as a profession is one of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> those rare places that art and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> science are brought together.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> And in this particular</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> approach, the chemistry and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the science of what the dyes</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> are made of, brought together</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with why these days are used</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in these colors and these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> plants by the knowledge and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> expertise of the weavers.

Is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this exciting?

Overlie up of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> these different kinds of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> expertise?

George Emin's and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ethnographies are in the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> nineteen hundred wrote about</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the different dyes that we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> thought were used in our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> blankets.

So over the last</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> couple of years we've done all</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this research on is it true</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> how these colours came about</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with the goal of building a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> database to die these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> different colours less like</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> more purply than slight silver</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> like.

Mm, is our hypothesized</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> method of getting a blue</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> liquid.

We've been using this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a long time.

From what Wevers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> tell us, one of the ways that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is still used is to take a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> copper pipe and put it in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ammonia and you at its soak</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> you get this kind boring</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stelae, greyish colour.

This</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is not a colour that I would</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> leave with, but if you dip</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that in vinegar, so you're</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> changing, you get kind of this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> nice minty green.

Oh my</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> goodness.

Stirring it around</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in the vinegar.

This is a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> color that we want to weave</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with.

Interestingly, there's a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> robe that's on exhibit right</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> now that has that minty sea</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> foam green in the fringe.

We</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> used our X-ray fluorescence</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> spectrometer to try to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> identify that we hoped this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> was the colour, that it was</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this copper color.

Right.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it doesn't have any copper in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it.

So there are some other</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> way.

They were getting this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> minty green.

Besides copper</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> indigenous peoples, no matter</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> where you go in the world,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> have always been adapting,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> right?

If climate change is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> coming, we move our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> communities inland.

If we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> don't have access to these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> particular materials anymore</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and it's easier to get it from</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the army guys who have come</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the coast.

We might adapt to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> joint.

Joining me for the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> first part of tonight's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> discussion is Ellen Harleigh.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ellen is the Alaska State</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Museum curator and is featured</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in the video Weaving Our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Identity about Chilcott,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Wevers and Ella Cheney is a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Hida Weaver.

Ella is not</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> featured in this video, but is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> active in the Weavers group</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and an expert that can help</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> explain all that goes into</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this masterful work.

Welcome,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> both of you.

Thanks so much</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> for being with us.

this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> evening.

And later in the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> program, we'll be joined by</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> original NASCAR executive</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> producer page Bark's and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> producer and videographer</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Javier Camacho to describe</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> other upcoming episodes of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> new program.

So Della, I want</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to start with you.

Tell us</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> about the group of Wevers who</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> are working on on these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> projects and especially as it</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> relates to learning how to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> replicate the colors of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> past and why.

That's why</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that's important to to try to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> find the origins of those</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> colors rather than, you know,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> some people may say, well,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there's plenty of different</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> colors available commercially.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Why not just use those</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> What would you say?

Pascals</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Mike slinked name is Cotnoir.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> And you ask the very important</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> question and I was not one of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the weavers who was</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> experimenting</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> at the colors.

I was there and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> listening to what they were</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> coming up with and how things</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> were being</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> experimented with.

But and I</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> saw the colors that they came</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> out with.

But I'm a more of a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ravens team leader and so</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we're that I do is a little</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> bit different than Chilcott.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Maybe.

And I'm also a culture</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> bearer.

So I have different</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> types of informal to share.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Rekha guarding our way of life</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Our way of life is what we're</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> talking about.

It's not a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> craft.

It's not an art.

You</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> could call that today.

Art or</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> craft.

But in our way of life,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it's something that we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> practice really hit a little</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> bit on the meditation part.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> But listening and working with</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> our community to community is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> not separate our environment</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> from community.

We're all in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> here working together to live</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to live with the things that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we do by that I mean the trees</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> give us oxygen.

The ocean</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> gives us oxygen.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> We give them CO2.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> The plants give us oxygen.

so</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it's more than just a matter</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of coming into our community</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in order to harvest and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> process materials.

It's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> learning the ways of caring</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> for all of the things around</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> us that we use to live with.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Hmm.

That</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is that we use and the berries</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> at weepie, the foods that we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> harvest, whether it's seal</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> deer, fish, all of these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> things are working together to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> live and our way of life is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> such a way that brings us</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> away to celebrate each other,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> whether it's celebrating</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a memorial, a raising of a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> totem pole, sharing, that type</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> celebration with our way of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> life is important.

By that, I</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> mean</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> time before us when they had</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the big parties for totem</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> raising and memorial parties,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the items we're talking about</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> now were gifts made for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> specific people</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and were part</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of the community.

It was part</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of our economical way of life.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Hmm.

In taking care of each</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> other.

Well, thank you for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> getting us started in that way</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> I want turned to Ellen for a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> moment here and find out a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> little bit about how you got</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> involved in this project and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> what you see as the museum's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> role in educating the public</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> about these designs and their</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> importance.

Yeah, So museums</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> are getting better at</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> realizing that the things that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> are in museums that we are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> taking care of objects are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> important because objects are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> important to people and to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> communities that are alive</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> today.

we had think culture on</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> staff a while ago, Diana</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Wallace, and when she saw the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> conservation lab at the Alaska</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> state where her work, she said</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> wouldn't it be amazing to have</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a collaboration where Beavers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> came together with scientists</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to learn about how how the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> dyes were made and options for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> colors and working together</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and having this group project.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> And that's sort of how the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> project was born a couple of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> years ago.

It was so</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> interesting to see that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> attempt at recreating this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> mint green and that sort of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> science process of using</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> copper and ammonia to create</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> blue and then vinegar to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> create the green.

How did you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> find out about those processes</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and then ultimately it wasn't</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the way it was.

The green was</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> created.

So were you ever,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ever able to sort of unpack</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that history?

Yeah.

So I first</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> heard about the way the green</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> was made from Dhaka, Jackson</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and Ketchikan's.

And then I</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> subsequently heard about it</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> from a couple of other weavers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and visual</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> They look really similar.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it seemed like that would be</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> an obvious choice for that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> color.

But the chemists were</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> pretty clear that that's not</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> what the analytical devices</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> were showing.

So it was this</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> curiosity about what the dye</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stuff really was with pandemic</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ah, chemist collaborators down</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> at Portland State University</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> weren't able to get into their</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> labs for some time.

The</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> analysis part was delayed, but</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it kind of shows how these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> different kinds of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> participants in a collaborator</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> can forward</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to the discoveries in the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> conversation about how these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> colors were made.

All right,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Andela, turning back to you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> for a moment here before we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Tranz edition to page in and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> heavier talk, you said that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> your style is different.

It's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> ravens' tail.

Talk about the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> deeper meaning and how it's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> connected to family lines.

and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that signifies</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it's wonderful.

Are we of life</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Is for our community because</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we have to be mindful of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> presence of all of these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> different shapes and forms</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that are around us.

And where</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> did our ancestors come</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> out with those beautiful</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> patterns that are on Chilcott</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and on revenge?

But just to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> give you a little bit about</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> which one is the oldest form</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of weaving?

It's the cedar</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> baskets, the spruce with</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> baskets and then Ravens tail</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and cat is the younger.

It's a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> few thousand years, but the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Shoket, we are the Ravens tail</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> weaving is thousands of years.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> So there's a great big</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> difference of time lapse there</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> A lot of history and we'll</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> learn more about it as we do</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> experience a different ways of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> creating patterns that do not</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> use circles.

And you'll notice</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> on baskets they majority of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> them do not have circles</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> because it's a flat surface us</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and you have to learn how to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> do circles on the Chilcot roll</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> And that's the difference</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> between the Ravens tail rope</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and the Chilcot probe.

on the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ravens tomorrow.

you will not</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> find circles.

You will find</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> squares, rectangles, triangles</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and those other forms</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Geometric pattern except</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> circle and he's older than</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> bottlecap.

There's time lapse</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> again, but a time lapse that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is so wonderful, so beautiful</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in our way of life because</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> things that we weave and the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> things that we look at to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> learn how to leave are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> thousands of years old and the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> things that we are weaving</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> will live longer than we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> absolutely believe.

For</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> thousands of years, we've</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> taken care of properly.

All</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> right.

thank you.

Difference</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> mean one of the different</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> between Ravenstahl and Choko.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Well, thank you so much.

I</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> wish we had a lot more time</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> because there's so much to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> discuss here.

So appreciate</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> your time.

Both Della and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ellen, thank you so much for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> joining us.

weaving our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Identity was released</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> at the end of September.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this week the second episode</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> aired.

It featured Cheyenne</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Language Learners.

The</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> multipart series also includes</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> episodes on addiction recovery</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and the experiences of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> families and therapists.

A</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> profile of a Yup'ik language</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> teacher in Bethel who retired</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> after 50 years, and an</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> examination of Juneau's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> avalanche history.

Joining me</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> now to discuss this work is</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Paige Sparks, executive</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> producer for Reprovision</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Alaska, as well as director</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> three of the films and Javier</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Camacho, a producer on the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> series.

And Javier also shot</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> video for the Weavers episode.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Welcome, both of you.

Thanks</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> for being on.

It's kind of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> cool to have you both there</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> together.

So page the KTUL</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> revision Alaska Web page says</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in part that each season of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> revision Alaska amplifies a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> rising tide of diverse voices</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> who are reraise the narratives</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> about their communities.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> What's meant here with</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> rewriting?

Does this mean</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> correcting certain historical</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> records or telling a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> well-known story through a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> different cultural perspective</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> You know, I think I think it's</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a little bit of both.

I think</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that there's been a lot in the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> filmmaking industry and in the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> filmmaking world.

There's been</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a lot of stories created</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> through a colonial lens,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stories that have really</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> shaped history and society</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> through specific or specific</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> perception of how</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> whoever is telling that story</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> sees so there's a lot of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stories that just haven't been</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> shared in a wider public space</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> right.

And we want to make</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> sure that we are no longer</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> contributing to that.

We our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> goal here is to kind of wipe</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> away any of that colonial lens</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that has shaped some of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> histories and some of the, you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> know, some of the facts that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> people think exist in Alaska.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the lower forty eight.

But who</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> don't live up here and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> actually understand and fully</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> have a connection with the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> landscape or the communities</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> here</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> What are those stories and how</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> do we tell those stories and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> amplify those into a sense</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that no longer gives the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> typical view of me.

I come to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the nature and conquer and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> leave.

All right.

Thanks for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that.

heavier talk about your</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> role in the Weavers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> documentary, especially, and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> how the story develops through</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> the episode.

We saw a short</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> clip of it.

Hopefully, folks</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> after this program will go and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> see the full episode on your</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> website.

Did you approach it</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with a certain idea in mind</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and did that remain or did the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> story sort of move in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> direction of its own</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> on that page?

Chimed in a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> little bit, too, because she</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> was kind of in more of a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> leading role with this with</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> this project</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> You I was there to help film.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> I mean, I think all of our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> projects really grow and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> develop</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> from kind of the onset we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> really try to make sure that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we are not coming with kind of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> preconceived notions, allowing</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> those in the film to lead.

I</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> mean, that's something that we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> really want this show to be</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> able to do in general.

to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> uplift the wisdom that has</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> always existed on these lands.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and to really take guidance</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> from those in our films.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> so I think all all of these</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> projects, not just the Weavers</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> really are in a process of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> being not only in our being in</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> relationship with those just</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to kind of weave together some</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of the words that Della and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ellen shared, because all of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> these films have also kind of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> just helped our our our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> shaping of this series.

Like</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Ellen said from a museum</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> perspective, objects aren't</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> just objects.

I think our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> story is also to realize that</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stories aren't just stories.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Stories are these essential</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> pieces of detail that make up</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> our world view and our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> perception of what the world</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> is and what it can be.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> like I was saying with DYS,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> it's not just about how colors</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> how you're buying this or what</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> material they're more than</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> just materials and raw</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> materials.

These are all kind</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of contain a web relationship,</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a way of understanding your</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> place in the land, your place</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> in history, your place, your</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> your relationship to the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> future, to those around you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and I think that's something</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> that, you know, not only</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> exists in this piece, but</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> throughout the rest of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> films.

And I don't know if</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Page you wanted to chime in at</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> all about maybe from a</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> directorial perspective, how?</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Well, and I'd love to have you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> follow up there, page, but</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> also talk a little about who</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> you're working with.

Is it</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> filmmakers sort of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> concentrated in Southeast?

Are</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there folks across the state</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> or are you primarily working</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> with people who have fantastic</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> stories and need someone to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> help with that lens to tell</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> through?

Yes.

To all of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> above with our pilot series.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Right.

So this was our chance</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to if you build it, they will</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> come hopefully if if we can</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> show what our vision is, if we</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> can show our audiences, our</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> community is what we're trying</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> to do and get them aware of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> our of our efforts, then</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> hopefully we can continue</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> beyond Southeast this season.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Very much so.

Does have strong</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> roots in southeast because me</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> and heavier were the ones</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> pushing that along.

But as you</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> mentioned, QTIP Asal and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Keyway UK, they are also</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> featured in this series and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> we're very, very excited for</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> hopefully next season, season</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> two, to expand our efforts to</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> make sure that we are going</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> above and beyond Southeast and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> on the entire state of Alaska.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> So we're very aware of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> amount of stories that are out</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there and the amount of</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> there and the amount ofdividuals who areo</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> on the entire state of Alaska.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> So we're very aware of the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> weAlaska can be</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> a vessel in which the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> platforms that audiences can</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> enjoy them.

Well, I so</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> appreciate your time.

I can't</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> believe we're out of time.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> This one by way too fast.

And</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> I look forward to seeing</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> future episodes.

Thank you so</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> much.

for the work that you're</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> doing to bring these stories</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> both to Alaskans and to the</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> rest of the country.

the world</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> So thank you so much.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Documentary work can help us</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> better understand each other.</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> Our diverse communities, and</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> can sometimes help solve</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> problems or correct the record</font></b> <b><font color=#AAAAAAFF> of past mistakes.
