Hello everyone. So I feel very honored to present a lecture at the Sealaska Heritage Institute for different reasons, but for me it's a real great pleasure and the responsibility too, because through SHI and Rosita Weldon and Chuck Mize— who Chuck is retired, but Rosita is still working there— they have played a major and a crucial role when, without having never been to Southeast Alaska, I was trying to prepare a first stay there. And so SHI opened its doors to me in 2023 and allowing me to discover your magnificent region with with a lot of humility and joy, and to meet with such warm and generous people here. And so it was and still is a real gift, and I feel indebted. Giving this lecture, I know, will not solve this debt, but I'm really happy to be able to do it.
Renaud Chandivert of Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier III lectured at Sealaska Heritage Institute in Juneau, arguing that Tlingit traditional foodways form a multidimensional 'archipelago of connections' that federal subsistence law cannot adequately describe or protect.
