00:29Together with her best friend, too
00:31We always by her side

00:48Let's see Cho, let's go!

00:53She's Molly of the Nali
00:57Come on, let's go!
00:59Molly of the Nali
01:02She's Molly of the Nali
01:06Molly and Elizabeth
01:11Welcome to Molly's Alaska Adventures
01:16Mom's taking tourists on a glacier tour
01:19And Tui and I get to help
01:21She's getting the backpacks ready
01:22I'm in charge of the glacier maps
01:25Dad's away getting supplies
01:27So Grandpa will watch the training post while we're gone
01:29And Tui will be...
01:32Come on, I'm the official tourist storyteller
01:36I've got some great mushing tales ready to go
01:42Like the time Eugene Pike pulled his lead up Eagle Summit
01:46With his teeth!
01:51Can't wait for your stories, Tui
01:53Having trouble, Chata?
02:01It's this volcanology interview I'm supposed to be giving
02:04I can't log in
02:06Maybe the Wi-Fi upstairs will help?
02:09Oh, good idea
02:10It starts any minute
02:11Molly, if the tourists arrive
02:13Let them know I'll be down as soon as we figure this video out
02:16Sure thing!
02:19Okay, Tui
02:20Time to practice our ultimate tour guide faces
02:24Peen!
02:29Uh, is this the place for the tour?
02:33Sure is!
02:37The pilot will be down in just a little bit
02:40This place is pretty modern
02:42We thought it'd be more old
02:44Old?
02:45It was built way before I was born
02:49If you want to see the cool places we're flying to
02:52Over here is a map
02:53That's my mom
02:55She knows all the best glaciers to show you
02:58Your mom?
03:00The best pilot in Alaska
03:02Oh, we thought this tour would be given by a native
03:08We're all Alaska native
03:13You don't look very native
03:16Shouldn't you be wearing things like feathers in your hair?
03:20Yeah, and beaded leather clothes
03:22Oh
03:23Uh, we're just wearing stuff to fly for a tour
03:29Uh, listen
03:32How about we go fishing today and tomorrow we'll come back
03:36And we can arrange to get a tour from real natives
03:41You really think we aren't native enough?
03:51I never thought so before
03:53Sorry that took so long
03:56Got it working just in time though
03:58What's wrong?
04:00Those tourists came
04:02They were told real natives would be giving the tour
04:06Not us
04:07They said they'd come back tomorrow
04:09Molly, Tui
04:16I'm sorry that happened to you
04:19But you are wonderful, real Alaska native kids
04:24They said we didn't look very native
04:28That was wrong of them
04:30What they said isn't true
04:33You know, this reminds me of another Alaska native woman
04:39Who was told things about us that weren't true
04:42Elizabeth Priyatovich?
04:50Elizabeth Parachovich
04:53So, who is Elizabeth Parachovich?
04:57A great native leader
04:59I know someone who could tell you a lot more about her
05:03I'm going to go see if I can get a hold of her
05:05I wonder why Grandpa Nat thinks Elizabeth Parachovich could help
05:10Let's see if we can find out some more about her
05:13Elizabeth Parachovich
05:17This says she was also known as Kach-Gush-Aat
05:25She was Klinket
05:27When Elizabeth Parachovich was a young girl in southeast Alaska
05:32She tried to enter a store
05:37But the owner wouldn't let her in
05:39Why didn't they allow native people?
05:49People had some wrong ideas about native people back then too
05:52There's someone waiting to tell you all about it
05:56Come on!
06:03Auntie Myrna!
06:05Shunya!
06:05Tui!
06:07Your grandpa told me what happened to you today
06:12If I had been there I would have given them a stern talking to
06:17I'm a little glad we didn't have to see that
06:21I asked Myrna to tell you about when she saw Elizabeth Parachovich
06:25You actually saw her?
06:27When I was just a little girl
06:30You were a little girl?
06:36I mean, of course you were
06:38I'm just trying to picture your story
06:40In 1945, Elizabeth was in Juneau
06:47Stores in Juneau still refused to let native people in
06:53Elizabeth wrote letters?
06:57And talked to lawmakers?
06:59She helped make a law that said you couldn't discriminate
07:02You couldn't be unfair to native people
07:06Finally, the day came to decide on passing the law
07:14I was watching
07:17I must remind you senators
07:19That native people are treated unfairly in this state
07:24How do you think native children feel
07:26When they see signs that read
07:28No natives allowed
07:30And aren't allowed in the same school as white children?
07:33Today, you can tell the world how we are treated as wrong
07:37And pass this law to make discrimination in Alaska illegal
07:48After Elizabeth's powerful speech
07:52The law passed
07:55People couldn't keep native people from entering a store
07:59Or movie theater
08:01Or anywhere else
08:03Elizabeth Paratrovich was amazing
08:08Yes, she stood up for native people
08:10And it changed the minds of so many
08:14This coin reminds us of all the hard work it took
08:17To gain equal rights for native people
08:21But there's still a lot of work to be done
08:25I'll talk to those tourists tomorrow
08:27And I'll tell them what they said was wrong
08:31Passi, Mom! Passi, Aunt Myrna!
08:34No!
08:37And passi, Grandpa
08:39I'm really glad you told us about Elizabeth
08:44You keep that, Molly
08:46You never know when you'll need a little reminder
08:49Oh, and Ninchy!
08:59Hey, we have a ball thrower just like that for our dog
09:02How'd you get it?
09:04Um, we ordered it online
09:08Huh, didn't think you could order online in Alaska
09:13Those tourists believe such weird things about us
09:16I know! I bet if they knew Alaska native people
09:20They wouldn't say those things
09:22Hey, I have an idea!
09:25You know how Elizabeth Paratrovich changed all those people's minds?
09:30I think we can change these tourist minds!
09:36You know, you don't have to see those tourists again
09:39If they don't learn, they might keep saying hurtful things to people
09:43Please, Mom?
09:44Okay, I'll be right here if you need me
09:49Hey, you two look much more native now
09:53We're ready for our tour
09:56Before we agree to any tours, Molly and Tui would like to speak to you
10:01Um, okay
10:05My name is Molly Mabre, and I'm also called Sha-mia
10:09I'm Tikana Okami, also called Tui
10:14It doesn't matter what we're wearing
10:23Whether it's a parka or a swimsuit
10:25Whether we live here or a big city
10:28If our eyes are blue or brown
10:29We know who we are
10:33I am Yupik, Koyakon, and Japanese American
10:37And I am Gwich'in, Koyakon, and Danaina
10:41This is the land of our ancestors
10:44Nobody can tell us we are not native enough
10:47Oh, um, we really didn't mean to offend you
10:54Well, it hurt me
10:56It hurt me too
11:00But if you're willing to try, you can learn how to not hurt more people
11:05We'd like to learn
11:10Then we'd like to take you on a different kind of tour
11:14We learn from elders in our village
11:18We play and laugh with friends
11:24And we've been doing awesome things on this land for thousands of years
11:28We also have an incredible history full of people who stood up for Alaska Natives
11:35Elizabeth Parado
11:37Parado
11:39Elizabeth Paratrovich
11:40Yes, Elizabeth Paratrovich was amazing
11:45We're really sorry we said those things to you before
11:48When we get home, we're going to learn about the native people on the land where we live
11:55Because of you two, we know we need to do better
12:02You keep that as a gift
12:05You never know when you need a little reminder
12:09Hey everyone, Molly here to answer your questions about life in Alaska
12:14Dylan from Santa Fe, New Mexico asks
12:17What do your other friends think of Elizabeth Paratrovich?
12:20Let's see
12:21Hi Molly
12:22My name is Adelina
12:24I'm Ephraim
12:30I'm Diego Sanlu and I live on Klingitland
12:32I live on Dena'ina land
12:39I live in the land of the Supiak people
12:42In the show
12:43The tourists came in
12:44They said that Molly and Tui didn't look native enough
12:48The tourists judging them for who they were
12:51What they looked like
12:52If you feel racism or you have been hurt by it, tell someone
12:58Molly and Tui talked to Grandpa Nat and Auntie Myrna
13:03about Elizabeth Paratrovich
13:05Elizabeth is Klingit like us
13:08Her aunt told her that the whole story behind her
13:11And how it wasn't right to keep out natives
13:13I would feel upset if someone told me that I could not go into a store
13:16Because I was a native
13:18She wrote letters and made speeches
13:21That said people cannot discriminate the natives
13:25Molly and Tui were very brave
13:28They talked with the tourists
13:30And they told them that they could dress however they wanted and still be native
13:36The lesson the tourists learned was that they were wrong
13:41They learned that what they were saying wasn't kind
13:43Molly and Tui felt happy and proud
13:45I'm most proud of being black
13:47I'm proud of being bilingual
13:49I'm proud of my skills at cooking
13:51I'm proud that I know people like Elizabeth Paratrovich that helped stand up for our culture
13:57Be proud of who you are
13:59See you, Krista, team, Molly
14:00Adios, buddy
14:02Bonso, mira
14:02Bye, Molly
14:05Masi, chow
14:06Thanks for asking and see you next time
14:21I slowly looked up from behind the log
14:34And then I saw it
14:36The ptarmigan was flying right over my head
14:39Fast as lightning
14:41I took an arrow
14:44Aimed
14:45And
14:46He missed
14:47Hey, this is my story
14:51Okay, I missed
14:53But
14:54It landed on a branch
14:56Then I got it
14:58That's when the ptarmigan gifted itself to Tui
15:01Wow, Tui
15:02Was that the very first animal you ever caught?
15:06Yep
15:06That's why I'm having an okoyakuk
15:09Okoyakuk?
15:10It's a you-pick throw party
15:12The history is
15:14When a boy caught his first seal
15:16His mother would give out the meat and oil to the women and elders
15:19Who couldn't provide for themselves
15:22This is how our communities always took care of one another
15:25At the party we actually throw gifts out to the women
15:28It's our tradition
15:30You're invited
15:31Really?
15:32Wow, I can't wait
15:34And Grandma Elizabeth will be there
15:36She's coming all the way from Castigliluk
15:39Have you decided what you're going to give her?
15:43Uh-uh
15:44She's traveling over a thousand miles to see me
15:47I want to give her something really special
15:50Don't worry, I'll help you think of something
15:53When's the party?
15:54In three days
15:55We better get started
15:57A bag of kivyat?
16:00Too expensive
16:01A chewy mannequin?
16:03Too creepy
16:05A dance routine?
16:06Too dreamy
16:08I just want to give her something really special
16:13What's Grandma Elizabeth doing in this picture?
16:19She was giving a speech at a school
16:22Grandma Elizabeth has taught the Yupik language all over Alaska
16:26Why don't you give her a speech?
16:30A speech in Yupik
16:31Whoa
16:33She would love that
16:35But I only know like four words in Yupik
16:39That's a really short speech
16:42Maybe Jay could help
16:44Wasn't he just teaching Yupik in that language camp in Bethel?
16:48Yeah
16:49But Jay would never
16:51I'm in
16:52Meet me at the lake tomorrow
16:54Nine o'clock and thank you
17:00That means nine a.m. sharp
17:10It's nine?
17:11Where's Jay?
17:14I bet he forgot
17:15Goiyana Tai Luchi language learners
17:22Oh
17:23Uh
17:24Hi
17:24Okay
17:25So I wrote down a few things I'd like to say to Grandma
17:28Nope
17:29You're not ready yet
17:31We start with the basics
17:33But I only have two days
17:37Ooh
17:38Ah
17:39Oh
17:40Is he okay?
17:45What are you doing?
17:48Warm-ups
17:49To speak Yupik, you've got to stretch those facial muscles
17:52Come on
17:52Come on
17:53Eee
17:54Eee
17:56Eee
17:58Ah
18:00Ah
18:02O
18:04O
18:06Good
18:08Now, let's try the alphabet
18:10There are 18 sounds we use in Yupik
18:13Repeat after me
18:15Ah
18:15Ah
18:16Ah
18:17Ch
18:17Ch
18:18Ch
18:18Ah
18:19Ah
18:19Ah
18:20Ah
18:21Ah
18:21Ah
18:22Your mouth has to be wet enough to make the right sound
18:24Ah
18:25Ah
18:26Ah
18:26Ah
18:27Ah
18:28Nice
18:28Ooh
18:31Got to run an errand
18:34What?
18:34But we didn't even get through the alphabet
18:37Who said class was over?
18:39Come on
18:46Hey, how's your Yupik lesson going?
18:49Good
18:50Wait
18:51How do I say that?
18:53Ah
18:53Ah
18:53Ah
18:55Ah
18:55Ah
18:55Ah
18:56Ah
18:56Ah
18:57Ah
18:58Now I can koo-joo-k
19:02Koo-joo-k?
19:04Is that brush your teeth?
19:07You're learning, little wolf
19:13Wait, but I don't want to give a speech about how grandma brushes her teeth
19:28I don't want to give a speech about how to make a speech about how to make a speech
19:36Tough day?
19:37Awful
19:38I'd say that in Yupik, but I don't know how
19:43The way Jay is teaching me, the way Jay is teaching me, I'm never going to learn enough to give a speech in time
19:49He just wants you to appreciate the whole language, not just a few words for grandma Elizabeth
19:54I know
19:55I know
19:56Besides, anything at all you say in Yupik is going to warm her heart
20:02You think so?
20:05I know so
20:07The language is very important to her
20:09Not only did she teach all over Alaska, she also started her own Yupik language school in Fairbanks
20:16Wow, I never knew that
20:18Hey, maybe I should put that in my speech
20:21She only learned English when she was 10
20:25But then, she went on to be the first person in her family to go to college
20:29Do you think you could help me say some of this in Yupik?
20:32I guess Jay is a good teacher, but I could always use a little extra help
20:39I know that one
20:40Yes
20:41It's too hard
21:00Come on, you can do it
21:02Thank you grandma for coming to Kaya
21:04Goyana Chaknak Mauluk Dailutin Mavit Kayaaman

21:50Asokpa
21:53You taught Jay?
21:55How do you think I got to be such a good teacher?
22:02It makes my heart happy to know my grandsons are keeping our culture and language alive
22:09Oh, that reminds me
22:12I, uh, I've got a surprise for you, but I'm still working on it
22:17See you soon
22:25Goyana for coming to Tui's Okeakuk in honor of his first catch
22:31I will throw the gifts, then Tui has a special gift for Grandma Elizabeth
22:39Are you ready?

23:10Love this hat!
23:12Tui, you ready?
23:17Ahem.
23:22Ahem.
23:26Before I begin, I'm sorry if I mess up.
23:30I'm still learning.
23:33Thank you, Grandma, for coming from Kasiguluk to Kaya.
23:52Thank you, Grandma, for coming from Kasiguluk to Kaya.
23:56Thank you for teaching my older brother, Jay, the Yupik way of life and the Yupik language.
24:11He is now teaching me what he learned from you.
24:20My grandmother, Elizabeth, is an amazing woman.
24:24She grew up in Kasiguluk and was the first person in her family to go to college.
24:29And she even opened up her own Yupik school in Fairbanks.
24:33Grandma, I am proud to say that I am your grandson.
24:38You're helping to keep our culture and our language alive.
24:42Kayaanachaknaka.
24:47Here's the ptarmigan I caught.
24:49My very first catch.
24:54I'm so proud.
24:57This is a day I will always remember.
25:01Not bad, little wolf.
25:04Kayaanachaknaka.
25:06I had a great teacher.
