Chantelle Pence, Fred John Jr., Karen Evanoff and Floyd Guthrie, discuss the task of recovering our human nature, as a collective people. Indigenous perspectives are often not recognized or acknowledged in modern day life, yet, they provide guidance and pathways for walking as a true human being, which is everyone's birthright. Chantelle Pence is author of Homestead Girl: The View From Here, a patchwork quilt of poetic essays that covers the human condition, from the perspective of a woman who came of age in rural Alaska. The short prose pieces are stitched together with a thread of love for our ancestral heritage, and a prayer that the people of Alaska, and beyond, will pay attention to the earth based cultures that are rapidly changing. Guest speakers include Elder Fred John, Jr. was born in Susluta Alaska to the last traditional chief of Mentasta, Fred John, Sr. and Native rights advocate Katie John. Karen Evanoff is from Nondalton. She is a Cultural Anthropologist for Lake Clark National Park and editor of Dena'ina Ełnena, A Celebration: Voices of the Dena'ina (NPS). Floyd Guthrie is a leader in the Alaska Native community and the Alaska Native sobriety movement. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, a past appointee to the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet, and a Vietnam Veteran with over 30 years of therapeutic experience.
