Raven Clan Potlatch Podcast

Yeilyadi Olson

Raven Clan Potlatch Podcast - RCPP The Raven Clan Potlatch Podcast is a podcast that reflects to everything from music to art to politics all from a T’aḵdeintaan Raven perspective. My name is Yeilyadi and I’m a Lingít person who lives in Anchorage, Alaska. The Lingít people are from southeast Alaska (US) and the Southern Yukon Territory (Canada). In Alaska the word ‘Potlatch’ is a generic word so that’s why I like to use it. But I am Raven Clan. When used, the word ‘Potlatch’ invokes a multitude of feelings and emotions from the sharing of song and story; adoptions and naming ceremonies; public declarations and paybacks; eating, laughing and crying. Spirits and ancestors become appeased (is the hope) as well as living honored guests that are acknowledged. I hope to share all these things with you on the RCPP journey.

We’re a matrilineal people In Lingít Aaní (our homeland). We have two major moieties (Moiety- noun, each of two parts into which a thing is or can be divided) Raven and Eagle. I’m Raven so I decided to use this name. Between 1998 and 2001 - hosted a volunteer radio show called the “Raven Clan Music Potlatch” where I played music and discussed current events.

    This Raven’s take on the events of last weeks armed insurgency of our nation’s capitol and the events that are following. It’s a divisive time countries history but if I’ve learned anything the United States can evolve. We’ve evolved through genocide, slavery, a century of segregation, and racism from all levels of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. We can evolve through this too.
