Also highly recommend "On The Ice," directed by Andrew Okpeaha MacLean (Inupiaq from Utqiagvik), which Teddy Kyle Smith acted in. Used to have my students watch it in our Alaska Native Literature class.

Just watched "Blood & Myth" narrated/researched by James Dommek, Jr. (Inupiaq from Kotzebue) and directed by Kahlil Hudson (Tlingit from Juneau), about Teddy Kyle Smith (Inupiaq from Kiana) and the Inukun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Farewell to Kruzof Island!
Gotta admit, as much as I am not a fan of the rain and humidity and overwhelming forests, Southeast Alaska is beautiful. And your tidepools are epic! 💚
Thank you Tlingit Aaní for hosting me.
