Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join your Griot, Amon Mazingo, as we embark on an enlightening journey through the rich narratives of Indigenous and African descent cultures in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode, we unravel the tale of Otoonah, a young woman of Sugpiaq descent who faces abandonment by her family but rises to become a skilled hunter. Set against the backdrop of the harsh Arctic landscape, Otoonah's journey is one of resilience, strength, and ultimately, forgiveness. Listen as we explore her adventures, the lessons learned, and the rich cultural heritage that inspires this story. And don't miss out on Chef's delightful recipe inspired by Otoonah's tale!
