In the Spring, the Herring Protectors -- an Indigenous women-led grassroots movement -- invited We Rise and our friends at Movement Generation to what is known as Sitka, Alaska or Sheet'ká Kwáan for the yaaw koo.eex, a Lingit ceremony honoring the herring and Lingit ways of life.

In part two, we spend most of our time with the Kaayani Sisters Council, led by indigenous women wisdom keepers, learning original teachings, especially about plant relatives and protocol for respectful harvesting.

Cacaphony of Joy is a series where we share teachings from our time together in Sheet'ká Kwáan. Guided by the Herring Protectors, we honor grief, confront colonialism, navigate pathways forward together, and make space for celebration & the cacophony of joy.

This We Rise Production is a collaboration with Movement Generation & Herring Protectors.
