With Thanksgiving being this week, I wanted to make sure we included indigenous voices. The theme of this week is food and Tlingit. Tlingit is a tribe of Alaska Native peoples residing in Southeast Alaska.
Tommy G is Kiks.adi, descendant from the warriors that fought to protect Sitka from the Russians. He is a culture bearer, subsistence expert, and founder of a culture camp called ANITA Herring Camp. ANITA (also the name of his mother) stands for Alaska Native Indigenous Training Academy. Tommy G has trained hundreds of people survival skills, including U.S. military personnel.
Join to hear his journey of his camp, what it means to be a provider for his community, his thoughts on Thanksgiving history, and what he is having 4 dinner.
