  • Episode 12- To Live a Good Life

    In this episode of Our Grandparent’s Teachings, our host Daanax.ils'eik (Chuck Miller) dives deep into an issue that faces all communities, substance abuse. Alcohol had an acute onset in Alaska with the arrival of stampeders, miners, and traders so there wasn’t a lot of time to create social, legal, or moral codes around its’ use. In response, communities turned to elders for guidance on these issues. We hear from Shaaganastaa (Bob Sam) as he shares a traditional Tlingit story about the harms of substance abuse. We also learn from Ixht’ik’ Éesh (Steve Johnson) and Lakota Harden as well as some songs from the archives

    If you have a story you would like to share, please reach out to storytelling@kcaw.org. The radio version airs live on 91.1 & 104.7 FM on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 PM AKST (8 PM Pacific Time) on KCAW from Sitka, Alaska, on Lingít Aaní land.

    Produced in collaboration with the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, Artchange, Inc. & KCAW.
