Episode 12- To Live a Good Life
In this episode of Our Grandparent’s Teachings, our host Daanax.ils'eik (Chuck Miller) dives deep into an issue that faces all communities, substance abuse. Alcohol had an acute onset in Alaska with the arrival of stampeders, miners, and traders so there wasn’t a lot of time to create social, legal, or moral codes around its’ use. In response, communities turned to elders for guidance on these issues. We hear from Shaaganastaa (Bob Sam) as he shares a traditional Tlingit story about the harms of substance abuse. We also learn from Ixht’ik’ Éesh (Steve Johnson) and Lakota Harden as well as some songs from the archives
