All Around Us by Xelena González

2018 American Indian Youth Literature Awards The concept of life and death is often spoken about as a timeline where death is the end and the finality of it is often overwhelming, heavy, and sad, especially for children that are trying to understand difficult concepts that are often not spoken about until it is "absolutely necessary". This is in contrast to many cultures where life is understood as a circle and is within a context of community and connectedness to the ancestors and where death is talked about, normalized and children are included from the youngest of ages. As a mixed person I have had to resist colonial thinking, re-learn the ways of my people, and embrace the cycles all around us including those that tie me to the ancestors. In an effort to decolonize, I have spent years learning about and attempting to align myself with the Mexica way of life including the cycles of the calendar as I am a Xicana seeking to reconnect to my roots. One part of the Mexica calendar is 20-day-counts (veintenas), each have their own meaning, rituals, and importance within the year and season connected to the cycles of the earth and sun. These next 2 veintenas are Miccailhuitl and Hueymiccailhuitl (also, Xokohuetzi) are festivals of the dead. Celebrated each year around mid August through the end of September according to the Gregorian calendar). I am forever grateful to those who have been my teachers along the way, and for my ancestors guidance along a path that was intentionally covered up over several generations. I am slowly finding my way back. Thank you for joining me in the journey and may our children and our children's children have lives that are affirming of ALL of who they are.

Shanyaak’utlaax̱: Salmon Boy Told in Tlingit (with English Subtitles) (5:46)

2018 American Indian Youth Literature Awards Shanyaak’utlaax̱ is a story based on an ancient oral narrative associated with several clans including the Kiks.ádi, L’eeneidí and Lukaax̱.ádi. This version is based mainly on the Kiks.ádi story and features Tlingit narrator Ḵaagwáask’ Ishmael Hope, Kiks.ádi; Tlingit illustrator Sheit.een Michaela Goade, Kiks.ádi; and Tlingit narrative consultants Naakil.aan Hans Chester, L’uknax̱.ádi; Ḵaagwáask’ Ishmael Hope, Kiks.ádi; and Kingesití David Katzeek, Shangukeidí. Told throughout Southeast Alaska, Salmon Boy illustrates significant cultural concepts about salmon – including that they feel and make choices, they attend to human action and communication, that they require respectful treatment, and that they will not return if they are not treated with respect – that are in turn translated into a number of principles on how salmon should be treated. The importance of salmon in Tlingit culture is also demonstrated through social and ceremonial institutions and practices such as clan crests, place names, regalia, songs, and dances. This bilingual video (Tlingit audio with English subtitles) was developed as part of SHI’s exhibit, Our Grandparents Names on the Land, which opened in the Nathan Jackson Gallery at the Walter Soboleff Building in Juneau in 2018. The video is featured in an interactive display called Salmon People, which highlights cultural, ecological and spiritual relationships between Southeast Alaska Natives and salmon. Viewers also learn how Tlingit fishermen formerly used intertidal traps to harvest salmon sustainably. Many of the illustrations featured in the video were created for the children’s book Shanyaak’utlaax̱: Salmon Boy as part of SHI’s Baby Raven Reads series. The book, illustrated by Michaela Goade, won the 2018 Picture Book of the Year award from the American Indian Library Association and is available through the Sealaska Heritage Store at https://bit.ly/2FtxPGx.
