Coming Home: the Return of the Alutiiq Masks
From Native Voice One | 00:53:56
A one-hour radio documentary about the cultural resurgance taking place in Kodiak, Alaska.
A dramatic story of a culture saving its lost art and history comes to life with in the special edition of Koahnic Broadcast Corporation's national program, Earthsongs. This one-hour radio documentary project, set to release in November 2008, stems from a partnership with United States Artist (USA) Rockefeller Fellow and George Peabody Award-Winning Artist, Dmae Roberts and Koahnic's Earthsongs Host and Producer, Shyanne Beatty.
The documentary details the long-sought return of the Alutiiq Masks from France to Kodiak. In the winter of 1872, a French anthropologist, Alphonse Pinart, traveled the Kodiak archipelago, assembling one of the world?s most extensive collections of Alutiiq ceremonial masks, and brought them back to France. In May, 2008, 34 of these Alutiiq ceremonial masks were returned to their people and exhibited at The Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, Alaska. The documentary features artists who helped make the return possible and unveils secrets of the masks that unlocked song, stories and forgotten language once thought lost.
The complex, sound-rich production features triptych storytelling, compelling interviews and music from Kodiak Island where Alutiiq/Sugpiaq peoples are undergoing a cultural renaissance.
Dmae Roberts (www.dmaeroberts.com) is a two-time Peabody award-winning radio producer living in Portland, OR. She won the USA fellowship and the Asian American Journalists Association's award for civil rights and social justice. She won her second Peabody for her eight-hour Asian American history series, Crossing East.
Shyanne Beatty is Hangwichin Athabascan who grew up in a subsistence lifestyle in Eagle, Alaska where the Yukon River meets the Alaska/Canadian border. She began her career in 1999 as a Production Assistant fellow for Koahnic Broadcast Corporation. She is now Koahnic?s traveling media instructor and weekly host of Earthsongs.

- Voices of Our World
Part One: DEATH IN JUAREZ: Over 320 women have been raped, tortured and murdered in the Mexican border town, Ciudad Juarez, and in the state of Chihuahua. Five hundred more have disappeared without a trace. Elinoar Astrinsky participated in the Maryknoll led Border Pilgrimage to bring attention to the increasing number of deaths at the border. Along with Judy Coode from the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, she visited Juarez where Maryknoll priest Paul Masson lives and works. He introduced them to a mother of a fifteen-year-old who was found dead in a cotton field and the aunt of another young woman who disappeared three years ago.
Part Two: NI UNA MAS - NOT ONE MORE: Over the past ten years, little has been done to investigate the disappearances and deaths of hundreds of young women. Rueben Garcia, director of Annunciation House, explains that police corruption, strained economic resources, and lack of political will contribute to the devaluation of the life of women. At a protest in front of the Mexican consulate, Michelle Otero, a volunteer for Amigos de las Mujeres de Juarez, proclaims that inaction sends a clear message to people on both sides of the border, that it is easy to kill women and get away with it.
