In the Spring, the Herring Protectors -- an Indigenous women-led grassroots movement -- invited We Rise and our friends at Movement Generation to what is known as Sitka, Alaska or Sheet'ká Kwáan for the yaaw koo.eex, a Lingit ceremony honoring the herring and Lingit ways of life.
In this series, we share teachings from our time together in Sheet'ká Kwáan. We honor grief, confront colonialism, navigate pathways forward together, and make space for celebration & the cacophony of joy.
In part one, we meet Louise Brady, one of the creators and stewards of Herring Protectors, whose wisdom and generosity guides us in this series. We also join Paulette, Indigenous wisdom keeper, on a whale watching boat, and learn more about the conditions of life for the herring.
This We Rise Production is a collaboration with Movement Generation & Herring Protectors.
