Emmys Trip 2026: DAY ONE
We left our snowy Juneau house about 5:30 am, and got to our New York City hotel just before midnight. That was… the day. lol But the whole family was waiting at the hotel and it’s getting very exciting! #emmys #childrensandfamilyemmys #mollyofdenali
“We didn’t create media to keep kids watching. We created it to help kids grow.”
I hope we can see what’s really on the line for our public media.

One week to the #Emmys! 👏🏽And I’m so pleased this #MollyofDenali writing nomination is drawing attention to an important episode on #Indigenous grief and celebration.
I hope you will watch these stories & share them. So many worked hard to bring them to you.

An adapted story of Fog Woman appears in one of the episodes of #mollyofdenali out this week, and boooyyyyy was I nervous about how it would look when all finished. But it turned out beautiful!
When I tell you I love #MollyofDenali I’m saying I love all children & care deeply about how we, as Alaska Native Peoples are represented & how critical it is for us to share our stories. I’m heartbroken the show wasn’t renewed by PBS but I’m also asking all of us to call our Representatives now!
So how do we write for an animated children’s program, anyways?
It was super fun nerding out on process, explaining the steps of episode writing for #MollyofDenali today at the Alaska Robotics Gallery Mini-Con with @xhunei.bsky.social and Waatsasdiyei Apayuk Yates.
I called Nick Begich today to comment on this important loss. I asked the staffer on the phone if he had heard of the show and he said quote -
"I used to watch that as a kid"
HOW OLD ARE HIS STAFFERS?!?!?

In case if you didn’t know, One of the PBS Kids shows, Molly of Denali have sadly got affected. Recently, the show will not be renewed for a fifth season. Fellowing the termination of the Ready to Learn grant. The fact that this show won a Emmy two months ago and this happens.. is really sad… I don’t know about the future of Molly, but.. if only.. time will tell..
The Future of Denali…

This is a very important clip for kids to watch actually! Sometimes, even if something has value to you, like that name of a team, sometimes, it's not fun for everyone when other groups are being made fun of, and maybe that thing is better

When @princessdaazhraii.bsky.social was in town a few days ago, we had to take the opportunity for a Molly of Denali writers gathering at my place! Tea and tea was shared. 😌 @xhunei.bsky.social #mollyofdenali
Molly of Denali is non renewed after its current season. This looks to be due to funding cuts.
F those that hate PBS. This was an amazing show that depicted alaska & alaska native in a positive light

Another Emmy nom for the writing team of #MollyOfDenali!!!!!!
You can watch this #Denali special or other #mollyofdenali episodes for free with the PBS KIDS video app.
For no apparent reason at all today, I’m just going to remind everyone that Molly of DENALI had a special episode/movie made called “Molly and the Great One” that highlights a bit of history and a lot of adventure around #Denali. #mollyofdenali
Below are links to watch.
Look at this! Three new #MollyofDenali episodes are out - six stories - and ALL of them are either written or co-written by a #Native writer! 👏🏽😭💪🏽 And all of them directed by a Native director!
You can see them airing nationally this week on #PBS or watch them on the (free) #PBSKIDS app! 👏🏽👏🏽
I didn’t predict that I would live in a timeline where I #MollyOfDenali would be considered a form of political protest, but… here we are.
