Let My People Go Skiing

Confronted with the frustration of false narratives and intergenerational trauma that surround her, Tlingit skier and scientist Ellen Bradley (Tlingit) returns to her traditional homelands in Southeast Alaska. Weaving ancestral knowledge, scientific understanding and passion for her sport, Let My People Go Skiing follows Bradley’s journey to help her community reclaim its place at the forefront of the stories told about their homelands. By dismantling barriers to snowsports for Alaska Native youth, she empowers a generation in hopes that the mountains can teach them what it will take to endure the fight to protect their culture, language and home forever.
