Description | Introduced by Louise Brady (Tlingit), founder, Herring Protectors Q&A to follow film screening Herring are the foundation of all things we love in Southeast Alaska. These fish connect us culturally, spiritually, and historically. From salmon to seals, eagles to whales, or blanched eggs on our stove tops, herring provide critical energy and nutrition to our communities and ocean ecosystems. This documentary shows the importance of herring for thousands of years, the risks they currently face, and envisions a way forward that centers Indigenous sovereignty and traditional ecological knowledge. Created by the Herring Protectors, a growing group of Alaskans and Sitkans that share concerns for the herring population of Sitka Sound, and the culture tied to it. RSVP below. |
