✨FEATURE FRIYAY ✨ Alaska Youth Stewards in Ḵéexʼ Kwáan

This week, we’re looking back at a pretty unforgettable night in Kake, where the Alaska Youth Stewards crew brought their films to the community for See Stories’ very first drive-in movie film festival!

Here’s the story from the crew:
The Alaska Youth Stewards crew in Ḵéexʼ Kwáan hosted a monumental first for See Stories: a drive-in movie film festival! We were so hesitant to host a film festival on one of the hottest days of the year, but radio host Benson offered the drive-in movie screen, creating a late-night party with pizza and snacks. There was a huge turnout, with over a dozen full cars tuned to 99.9. The students from the AYS crew welcomed community members to the screening. We are especially proud that all the students included introductions in Lingít within their films, making their families, ancestors, and future generations proud.

A huge thank you to Alyson () and the Alaska Youth Stewards () crew for making this night happen and sharing their stories with the community! We’re so proud of the work you created and the care you put into honoring your families, ancestors, and future generations!

✨Feature Friday ✨

This summer, See Stories has partnered with the Angoon Community Association (ACA), the tribe in Angoon, to help document the ACA’s new tribally-led Subsistence Monitoring Project. The ACA has been working to collect samples of shellfish, lichen, fish, berries and other traditional subsistence foods around Angoon. These samples are being analyzed for any pollutants that could pose environmental or health risks to the community in Angoon.

See Stories is thrilled to support this initiative! We have hired 3 youth media interns-Nadine, Angel, and Lisa- who have each participated in years of See Stories workshops at Angoon High School- to film subsistence gathering events, gather broll, and conduct interviews to later make films that will tell the story of the monitoring program. It is heartwarming to see youth See Stories has worked with for years to step into changemaking roles into their communities. Check out some photos from this project here. You'll also peek 👀 some behind the scenes of what it's like shooting in the rain in coastal Alaska! Gunalchéesh to the Angoon Community Association, and to Nadine, Lisa, and Angel for your efforts!

✨Feature Friday✨ A week of learning, storytelling, & connection: NAFWS Alaska Summer Youth Practicum

Last month, See Stories collaborated with the Native American Fish and Wildlife Society (NAFWS) during their Alaska Summer Youth Practicum at a summer camp in Chugiak, Alaska. Participants and chaperones came from all over to learn about tribal stewardship.

See Stories Collaborator Alyson Kenney shared that this was a meaningful program: “The camp’s care and commitment fostered real connection. We all got to know each other through shared meals, games, and it was truly an amazing week for all the students and me.”

During the week, students made incredible films, interviewing stewardship experts from the Eklutna and Chickaloon tribes, as well as Maija Katak Lukin. The week closed with a film screening for family and friends at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

Thank you to Alyson and to NAFWS and everyone who made this week of learning, storytelling, and connection possible!

✨ This summer, See Stories has been back in Kake for our 2nd summer working with the Kake Alaska Youth Stewards (AYS). The Kake AYS crew is composed of 5 amazing Tlingit youth from Kake, and their lovely crew leader Eloise! They work on community stewardship projects each summer like subsistence fishing, community restoration efforts, arts, and environmental monitoring. We are so thrilled they have integrated a storytelling component into their summer activities as well! Alyson (Alyson Kenney) traveled to Kake earlier this summer to train youth and get them started on projects, and after filming all summer, See Stories will return to support youth in editing their films before airing them at a community film event. Stay tuned for more coming from this project!!!

Film has the power to do so much more than entertain—it can start conversations, build understanding, and inspire people to see the world through someone else’s eyes.

That’s why we’re especially grateful to for supporting See Stories Live Juneau 2026.

Working Films partners with organizations across the country that use film to strengthen communities and inspire positive social and environmental change. Their support is helping us bring this event to Juneau and create a space where Alaska youth can share stories that reflect their communities, cultures, and lived experiences.

We’re honored that Working Films believes in the impact of youth storytelling and chose to invest in See Stories Live. Their support reminds us that every screening has the potential to create connection long after the credits roll.

Thank you, Working Films, for helping us share stories that matter.
