Smokin’ Fish trailer
For those of you in Sitka (AK), Whitehorse (Canada), Plymouth and Palm Springs, there’s a new documentary called Smokin’ Fish coming to a theater near you. The film revolves around Cory Mann, a Tlingit man, who returns to Alaska to smoke salmon the Tlingit way and it sounds like it covers a lot more besides. Tickets at the Plimouth Museum in Plymouth MA include a tasting, are $25 or $40 for couples. If you go, let me know how you like it! (It may be a while before I get a chance to see it since I missed the NYC screening in November and don’t see one on the upcoming screening list.)
I also just noticed that @nativemedia tweeted that Good Meat will be playing on air in Alaska this Sunday at 8pm. Good Meat follows an Oglala Lakota man as he returns to a traditional Lakota diet as a way to regain his health. Let me know what you think about both. If you are interested in more Native American books and films about diabetes and health, check out my recent tweets about the Eagle Series (also an animated series) and RezRobics!

I love documentaries like these but wish they were available at the very least online since these screenings are usually no where near me. Any idea where online I can watch these (even paid sites)?
Hello. Thanks for writing. I’ve been noticing more Native American films on Netflix as of late, although they are not always available via streaming, but on DVD. So, that’s one option. Some of these films are on television, too, and @nativemedia is good to watch for those announcements in the event they are on your local station. But thanks for your question. Particularly as a librarian, I am interested in this question and will look into it.
