Indigenous Stories with Joe Yates of Molly of Denali

In this episode, we're joined by writer & producer Joe Yates, who is part of the Yawk'laanaas tribe. We discuss the PBS award-winning show 'Molly of Denali', the importance of TV that reflects very complicated realities around representation and finding common threads across audiences. If you're not familiar with the show 'Molly of Denali', it is an animated children's show created by Dorothea Gillim and Kathy Waugh. The series is the first American nationally distributed children's show to feature an Alaska Native as the lead character.   You can learn more about Joe's work at alaskanfilms.com   Support this podcast by becoming a Patron at: https://www.patreon.com/PoorProlesAlmanac
