New Series Alert!
Been wondering what we've been cooking up during those long periods of silence?
The Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat and On The Land in collaboration with the Permanent Participant Youth Network and the Permanent Participants, brings you a new podcast series. Our Arctic Presence features the story of how the Arctic Council Permanent Participant organizations came to be and coordinate across international Arctic borders. If you are from the Arctic and wonder how Indigenous issues are advocated for, this is the podcast for you. Join us as we hear Indigenous Youth speak to their Permanent Participants’ history and interview leaders.
The Arctic. It has always held its allure. Often known as the “Last Frontier,” the tundra and taiga that defines the topmost part of the northern hemisphere has been the subject of many an explorer’s daydream. This place, this frozen expanse technically known as a “desert” due to the low levels of precipitation that fall each year, is also known as home.
For millennia, the Arctic has been home to the Indigenous Peoples of the North. From Sápmi to Inuit Nunat, Gwichyaa Zhee’ to Denendeh, Tanax to Yakutia, stories ring from these lands. Though the Peoples have always been meeting and engaged in trade and ceremony with one another, Arctic cooperation was strengthened 25 years ago when the Indigenous Peoples joined the Arctic States of Iceland, Finland, Sweden, the Russian Federation, the Kingdom of Denmark, The United States of America, Norway, and Canada in forming the Arctic Council.
This is our Story.
Episode 1 dropping today Saturday, December 18th, speaks to the story of how the Permanent Participant organizations were developed and became involved with the Arctic Council.

Welcome back to the second part of our conversation with Àslat Holmberg and Beaska Niillas of SuperSàpmi. In this half we discuss the importance of fish to our communities, tackle some of the conversation around green colonialism and yes, touch on reconciliation.
This conversation was recorded in the spring of 2020 pre-COVID in Sápmi on the banks of the Deatnu River and on Pueblo Lands in Dixson, New Mexico.
The Storytellers
“In Sápmi there are not many platforms where we can dive real deep in to our own issues and discussions. So sometimes it can be challenging to present and talk about them in-depth in a proper and interesting way.
With this podcast we will try to build a place of meaningful discussion on issues important for the Sámi future and the strengthening of ourselves. One main rule and basis of our conversations is decolonization and we will try to indigenize both ourselves and others in the creation of the podcast.
Thru conversation, exploration and storytelling we will seek to raise awareness in our society and try to find the right paths int o the future.” - ČSV! (SuperSápmi)

The Music
Caujahat Mu, the music for this episode was gifted by Joik artist Hildá Länsman from Utsjoki and musician & Helsinki-based sound designer Tuomas Norvio. They were asked to perform together in a festival club during contemporary theatre festival Baltic Circle 2017 in Helsinki. As it immediately clicked between the artists they decided to continue searching for their common ground. Based on improvisational soundscapes and interspaces formed by echoes and rhythms, Hilda’s ethereally buzzing, growling and pealing voice meets Norvio’s thick and sampled electronic beats.

Ade’ and welcome to the first episode of Xilegg: Our Arctic Presence.
In this episode, originally recorded in late October of 2019, we visit with Unangax̂ scholar, activist, and performance artist Haliehana Stepetin.
During our conversation we touch on the mapping of Indigenous spacialities that help us imagine and construct our understanding of the world as contemporary Indigenous peoples rooted in the constellations of our ancestors. Haliehana also speaks to her relationship with Iqyax (kayak) building.
Haliehana Stepetin is Unangax̂ and was born and raised in the village of Akutan in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. She brings this upbringing into her re-search theorizing subsistence cosmologies as the central component connecting aspects of Unangax and Indigenous ways of knowing in the diverse topics of study she engages. Haliehana is a PhD student in Native American Studies at the University of California Davis. Haliehana is a scholar and activist, an Unangax̂ dancer, choreographer, Indigenous performance artist, Unangam Tunuu learner and Indigenous language activist, subsistence practitioner, and Navy veteran. Her scholarship engages Indigenous performance as embodied knowledge to (re)center Indigenous Knowledge systems in education and academia with, by, and for Indigenous and Alaska Native communities.

In the time of Coronavirus, we return to Kotre’lenayh: Alaska’s first Just Transition Summit to bring you a bundle of stories from Winona LaDuke, Lagunai Elizabeth Medicine Crow, and Naomi Michalsen. This first episode in our three-part bundle is a conversation we had with Winona LaDuke.
Winona LaDuke is Anishinaabekwe from the White Earth Nation in what is known as Minnesota. She is the executive director and co-founder of Honor the Earth alongside the Indigo Girls. Honor the Earth is an Indigenous led environmental justice organization that supports water protectors, builds Indigenous regeneration, and is invested in the next economy through a just transition. She is also the founder of Winona’s Hemp and Heritage Farm – a two-part hemp farm and agricultural institute currently working on growing the next economy through localized, tribally led food and hemp growth. Winona is a corn grower and economist by training.

For many people in Alaska, Spring is their favorite time of year, however as soon as the sun starts to shine and the days stretch longer, welcoming the midnight sun - there is one thing on my mind - Salmon Season.
Commercial fishing is one of Alaska’s top economic sources alongside the oil and gas industry and tourism. It currently sustains more than 15,000 jobs and is worth over 1.5 billion dollars. 62.3 million fish returned to the water shed 2018 with another record year following in the 2019 season.
While the commercial fishing industry supports many local peoples, most of those 15,000 jobs are held by out of state fishermen and cannery workers. Now is a crucial time to be discussing the 2020 fishing season and how it will be impacted by the Coronavirus. April is the time that many people start to make their way north to prepare for the season and our communities are not equipped to handle a possible outbreak.
We are calling on out-of-state commercial fishermen and canneries to seriously reflect on their impact in our region and reconsider the 2020 salmon season.
Our communities have already seen sickness and our elders still remember the 1919 influenza that swept through Bristol Bay. In light of this, we would like to hear from you - If you are from Bristol Bay or a community that sees a large influx of people due to fishing operations, please let us know your thoughts on the upcoming season. You can submit your testimony at onthelandmedia.com or submit a voice memo to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you and appreciate you in advance for opening yourself to engaging in tis dialogue.

The Music
Caujahat Mu, the music for this episode was gifted by Joik artist Hildá Länsman from Utsjoki and musician & Helsinki-based sound designer Tuomas Norvio. They were asked to perform together in a festival club during contemporary theatre festival Baltic Circle 2017 in Helsinki. As it immediately clicked between the artists they decided to continue searching for their common ground. Based on improvisational soundscapes and interspaces formed by echoes and rhythms, Hilda’s ethereally buzzing, growling and pealing voice meets Norvio’s thick and sampled electronic beats.

The Storytellers
“In Sápmi there are not many platforms where we can dive real deep in to our own issues and discussions. So sometimes it can be challenging to present and talk about them in-depth in a proper and interesting way.
With this podcast we will try to build a place of meaningful discussion on issues important for the Sámi future and the strengthening of ourselves. One main rule and basis of our conversations is decolonization and we will try to indigenize both ourselves and others in the creation of the podcast.

It is that time here in Alaska. People along the road system, river beds, tundra, mountains and cities are preparing and heading out for the fall big game hunt. Excitement stirs in the air as whisperings of moose and caribou float on the wind. Hopes for filled freezers weigh heavy on the mind. In this episode community leader, scholar, and activist Eva Dawn Burk and I discuss the right to hunt for moose, being asked to show up as a leader for ones community, and the politics of the Alaska Board of Game.
