When the Salmon Spoke
2020
When the Salmon Spoke is a 2020 project presented by Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission and Ping Chong + Company, in collaboration with SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and Salmon Beyond Borders. A digital production featuring cinematic imagery, indigenous music and visual art, and captivating life stories from community members of the Stikine River, this project connects coastal Tlingit and Haida communities and inland Tahltan communities of Alaska and British Columbia.
As a companion to the digital production, I developed a web story archive to share stories in an audio form. This project was developed in collaboration with Ryan Conarro and Heather Hardcastle.
I fell in love with each person as I listened to their stories, and I know you will too.
When the Salmon Spoke web story archive exists here.
