Ten years ago today, we released the award-winning Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa) into the world. It was an honor to collaborate with elders, storytellers, and community members of the Iñupiaq community — and it's one of the proudest moments of my career. ❄️

I know it's hard to read while having a meltdown, but I recommend the gators really try and absorb this one. Not sure why so many of them need an enemy, but I promise you that we ain't it.
