Episode 48: Chat with Joe Yates/Writer on PBS “Molly of Denali”

Joe is the father I want to be, the creator I want to be, the role model I want to be…everything.
Joe Yates runs Alaskan Films, his own video production and photography company. He also is a writer on Molly Of Denali, works on the upcoming show Life Below Zero: The First Alaskans, and is a Haida man trying his best to teach his kids their language.

He is a wonderful filmmaker and his work is available on his website www.alaskanfilms.com, go check it out and you will be amazed by his short films he has put together so far.
Joe is a phenomenal individual and we have a chat that ranges from language revitalization, to accurate native representation, fatherhood, and of course Molly of Denali!
