@chalsiekarasti: Teddy Mayac Sr. our eldest living descendant from King Island, singing in his native language. He is currently on comfort care, his time will be soon. At the end of the video you can hear him say, "Mary I tell you to come take me" #kingisland #elders #alaskanative
my grandma was the last generation from King Island before it was deemed “unsafe to live on”, the rest of my family after that generation was born in Nome (the Kunuuk’s). i don’t know much about who I’m related to, this was so nice to see on my feed 🤍

I’m earning a minor in Alaska Native Studies at UAA and we’ve talked a LOT about him in our courses, he is so well-respected and honored in Alaska’s Indigenous communities 🖤

Mr. Mayac’s song made it all the way to Mississippi and sent me down a rabbit hole learning about Kings Island! I’ll be doing more research but it’s heartbreaking to see cultures fading
