About this listen
In this, shorter than normal episode Christmas In The Great Land, we journey into the heart of an Alaskan winter to discover how residents turn the "Big Dark" into a season of warmth and light. We explore the deep-rooted tradition of Selaviq (Starring) in Russian Orthodox communities, where a spinning star leads carolers through the snow.
We also take a trip to North Pole, Alaska, to see where the holiday spirit lives year-round, and sit down for a virtual "subsistence feast" featuring moose roast and Akutaq. From the giant star shining on the Chugach Mountains to the crackle of solstice bonfires, this episode celebrates the resilience, community, and unique cultural tapestry that makes a Christmas in Alaska unlike anywhere else on Earth.
I also touch on a special ceremony that makes me part of a special group, with some amazing people as well as another story about a true Alaska Hockey Legend.
