Spring Transition


Dear For The Wild Community,

As we root into spring, we’re having dreams of a renewed For The Wild. Many of you may have noticed, we are undergoing a period of transition and rest. Thank you so much for continuing to provide a community of support and listenership throughout this time.

We hope to let rest be the sacred fuel that keeps our fires burning. As we have been putting out more Encore episodes, our work has not stopped. Instead, we have taken the time to reorganize our values, to find space to be truly present with this work, and to root down into our communities.

This rest has also meant embracing the changes and shifts of the seasons. We have taken the winter season to process this drastically changing world, and feeling the restorative and renewing power of the spring we are refining, reorienting, and reimagining what For The Wild means and what it can be. This is what slow looks like. In the coming months expect rebirth in the form of new episode formats and topics. Exciting things are on the horizon, thank you for being present with us in the work.

To continue supporting us, find us on Patreon or give via Paypal.

K’ASHEECHTLAA - LOUISE BRADY on Restoring the Sacred [ENCORE] /288

β€œActivism is making coffee, serving elders, cooking, getting to know each other in a very deep way, to develop that trust so that we can have joy.”

In conversation, K’asheechtlaa shares the oral history of herring abundance in context to what a typical herring harvest looks like today, industry’s inability to act with reverence, and how Herring Protectors are working to protect the herring and the culture tied to them. As an alternative to thoughtless extractivism and incompatible institutions, K’asheechtlaa also shares what place-based joy feels like, grassroots efforts to restore the sacred, and the importance of building allyship outside of one’s own circle.

K’asheechtlaa is a woman of the Tlingit nation in SheetΚΌkΓ‘ αΈ΄wΓ‘an, an island off the coast of Southeast Alaska. She is Raven-Frog or Kiks.Γ‘di Clan, Kiks.Γ‘di women are known as the herring ladies, they have a story or original instruction that connects them spiritually, culturally, and historically to herring. K’asheechtlaa is the founder of the Herring Protectors, a grassroots movement of people that share concerns that the herring population in SheetΚΌkΓ‘ αΈ΄wΓ‘an, and the culture tied to it, are under threat. They spend time in relation with each other and organize against colonization and in defense of the lands and waters that sustain us. They are an informal collective, but over the last three years, they have helped put on two Honor the Herring Koo.eex’ that honored the sacred relationship the Tlingit people have with the herring and the role they play in their way of life - haa kusteeyi. These ceremonies were powerful and the focal point for a broader movement that brought dozens of people out to testify for the protection of herring and in support of Sitka Tribe of Alaska at the Board of Fish, to make art, to undertake a symbolic canoe voyage, to protest at the Alaska Department of Fish & Game local offices, and more.

For the Season

And as the world vomits up war
And retreats into emptiness,
Spring’s begun dividing

her storks and cranes among us
There’s a power in this northern migration,

Edging out fear and assent,
While out on the spring ice
A primordial evil lands in your hands

The future tense and past tense
Got stuck in the muck of grammar
The storks fell asleep in their nests
Not yet having arrived

Only the Ukrainian Army and its volunteers
are awake. In this countdown to a new eraβ€”
a baby born in a basement
will receive the holy tablets

– Excerpt from a recent poem by Ukrainian Poet and Translator, Natalia Beltchenko via Lit Hub
