Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – Ringing in the Orthodox New Year in Alaska
Manage episode 461129425 series 3353579
The Orthodox New Year in Alaska is a mix of seal meat, tea cakes, and Alaska Native and Slavonic languages. It’s a cultural blend more than 150 years after Russia formally withdrew from what would become America’s 49th state. In that time, the Orthodox Christian customs continued to flourish and merged with Native traditions. In many ways, they are more established than in their home country, which saw religious persecution during the time of the Soviet Union. We’ll hear from Alaska Native adherents of Russian Orthodox Christianity about how they’re welcoming the New Year on January 14.
GUESTS
Benjamin Jacuk (Dena’ina Athabascan and Sugpiaq), director of Indigenous research at the Alaska Native Heritage Center
Jill Fratis (Unangan), news producer and reporter for KNBA and Koahnic Broadcast Corporation
Sperry Ash (Sugpiaq), educator and Russian Orthodox deacon
Break 1 Music: Ataniq Qujaqiliqpagit [Thank You Lord] (song) Susan Aglukark (artist) The Crossing (album)
Break 2 Music: Intertribal Song (song) Dakota Nation (artist) Home of The Champions (album)
