OTL x Indigenous Peoples' Secretariat Series: Our Arctic Presence
New Series Alert! Been wondering what we've been cooking up during those long periods of silence? The Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat and On The Land in collaboration with the Permanent Participant Youth Network and the Permanent Participants, brings you a new podcast series. Our Arctic Presence features the story of how the Arctic Council Permanent Participant organizations came to be and coordinate across international Arctic borders. If you are from the Arctic and wonder how Indigenous issues are advocated for, this is the podcast for you. Join us as we hear Indigenous Youth speak to their Permanent Participants’ history and interview leaders. The Arctic. It has always held its allure. Often known as the “Last Frontier,” the tundra and taiga that defines the topmost part of the northern hemisphere has been the subject of many an explorer’s daydream. This place, this frozen expanse technically known as a “desert” due to the low levels of precipitation that fall each year, is also known as home. For millennia, the Arctic has been home to the Indigenous Peoples of the North. From Sápmi to Inuit Nunat, Gwichyaa Zhee’ to Denendeh, Tanax to Yakutia, stories ring from these lands. Though the Peoples have always been meeting and engaged in trade and ceremony with one another, Arctic cooperation was strengthened 25 years ago when the Indigenous Peoples joined the Arctic States of Iceland, Finland, Sweden, the Russian Federation, the Kingdom of Denmark, The United States of America, Norway, and Canada in forming the Arctic Council. This is our Story. Episode 1 dropping today Saturday, December 18th, speaks to the story of how the Permanent Participant organizations were developed and became involved with the Arctic Council. Credits Published and produced by: The Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat and On The Land Media – a multimedia organism created to center Indigenous voices and our relationships to the land and water.

[Xilegg 3] SuperSápmi x On The Land : More Fish, Less Fish & Reconciliation (?)
Welcome back to the second part of our conversation with Àslat Holmberg and Beaska Niillas of SuperSàpmi. In this half we discuss the importance of fish to our communities, tackle some of the conversation around green colonialism and yes, touch on reconciliation. This conversation was recorded in the spring of 2020 pre-COVID in Sápmi on the banks of the Deatnu River and on Pueblo Lands in Dixson, New Mexico. The Storytellers “In Sápmi there are not many platforms where we can dive real deep in to our own issues and discussions. So sometimes it can be challenging to present and talk about them in-depth in a proper and interesting way. With this podcast we will try to build a place of meaningful discussion on issues important for the Sámi future and the strengthening of ourselves. One main rule and basis of our conversations is decolonization and we will try to indigenize both ourselves and others in the creation of the podcast. Thru conversation, exploration and storytelling we will seek to raise awareness in our society and try to find the right paths int o the future.” - ČSV!

Ade’ and welcome to the first episode of Xilegg: Our Arctic Presence. In this episode, originally recorded in late October of 2019, we visit with Unangax̂ scholar, activist, and performance artist Haliehana Stepetin.

Haliehana also speaks to her relationship with Iqyax (kayak) building. Haliehana Stepetin is Unangax̂ and was born and raised in the village of Akutan in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. She brings this upbringing into her re-search theorizing subsistence cosmologies as the central component connecting aspects of Unangax and Indigenous ways of knowing in the diverse topics of study she engages. Haliehana is a PhD student in Native American Studies at the University of California Davis. Haliehana is a scholar and activist, an Unangax̂ dancer, choreographer, Indigenous performance artist, Unangam Tunuu learner and Indigenous language activist, subsistence practitioner, and Navy veteran.

The snow begins to melt and the break up of ice is just around the corner – it’s an ominous feeling of knew of fresh. This spring is very different than the last, not only for humans in the time of COVID–19, but too for our more-than-human relatives. Our plancestors have been adapting to the changes of this world in their own crises with climate change and other anthropogenic land impacts. We have so much to learn from Plants and so much to listen for. So as spring begins and the plants grow again, as we are practicing staying still in our homes, let us also practice the beautiful art of listening. Castielljas are the flowers I always look forward to seeing the most when the season changes, for what they teach us in their beauty and in their ways of being. So happy spring listeners, what flowers are you looking forward to seeing bloom? This is part of our new mini series called Nitommo'toto which means Relatives in Blackfeet.

Kotre’lenayh: Building the Next Economy w/Winona LaDuke
In the time of Coronavirus, we return to Kotre’lenayh: Alaska’s first Just Transition Summit to bring you a bundle of stories from Winona LaDuke, Lagunai Elizabeth Medicine Crow, and Naomi Michalsen. This first episode in our three-part bundle is a conversation we had with Winona LaDuke. Winona LaDuke is Anishinaabekwe from the White Earth Nation in what is known as Minnesota. She is the executive director and co-founder of Honor the Earth alongside the Indigo Girls. Honor the Earth is an Indigenous led environmental justice organization that supports water protectors, builds Indigenous regeneration, and is invested in the next economy through a just transition. She is also the founder of Winona’s Hemp and Heritage Farm – a two-part hemp farm and agricultural institute currently working on growing the next economy through localized, tribally led food and hemp growth. Winona is a corn grower and economist by training. Find out more about Winona’s work using the links below: Honor the Earth Website: www.honorearth.org (http://www.honorearth.org) IG: @honortheearth Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm Website: www.winonashemp.com (http://www.winonashemp.com) Winona Personal IG: @winonaladuke Website: https://www.winonaladuke.com/press (https://www.winonaladuke.com/press) Patagonia Presents Film: Misunderstood: A Brief History of Hemp in America https://vimeo.com/334549461 (https://vimeo.com/334549461) IG: @patagonia OTL Call to Action For many people in Alaska, Spring is their favorite time of year, however as soon as the sun starts to shine and the days stretch longer, welcoming the midnight sun - there is one thing on my mind - Salmon Season. Commercial fishing is one of Alaska’s top economic sources alongside the oil and gas industry and tourism. It currently sustains more than 15,000 jobs and is worth over 1.5 billion dollars. 62.3 million fish returned to the water shed 2018 with another record year following in the 2019 season. While the commercial fishing industry supports many local peoples, most of those 15,000 jobs are held by out of state fishermen and cannery workers. Now is a crucial time to be discussing the 2020 fishing season and how it will be impacted by the Coronavirus. April is the time that many people start to make their way north to prepare for the season and our communities are not equipped to handle a possible outbreak. We are calling on out-of-state commercial fishermen and canneries to seriously reflect on their impact in our region and reconsider the 2020 salmon season. Our communities have already seen sickness and our elders still remember the 1919 influenza that swept through Bristol Bay. In light of this, we would like to hear from you - If you are from Bristol Bay or a community that sees a large influx of people due to fishing operations, please let us know your thoughts on the upcoming season. You can submit your testimony at onthelandmedia.com or submit a voice memo to deenaalee@onthelandpod.com (mailto:deenaalee@onthelandpod.com). We look forward to hearing from you and appreciate you in advance for opening yourself to engaging in tis dialogue.
