'I’m just extremely proud of the show,' Jody Potts-Joseph says of Life Below Zero: First Alaskans. 'And the families, and the people, and our way of life being shared with the world in this way, is really special.'
: They film pretty much most of our day, cutting wood, setting up our wall tent and our camp, hiking and traveling on the Yukon River, getting to our fish camp and things of that nature. So they’ve done quite a bit, and it really is very realistic. None of it’s made up. It’s really just exactly what we do on a daily and regular basis.: Yeah, that’s one thing I’ve heard about that show in particular, is that it is pretty true to life.
And they also have a strong understanding that, in a lot of ways, the Alaska Native way of life has been threatened by a variety of things, from climate change, to industry, to, really, the state regulations on fishing and hunting and some of the impacts there. Once I felt really confident in their intentions, and it being our story, you know, it’s never them telling us, “Well, we want you to do this.” It’s literally every day filming exactly what we’re doing, day in and day out.
: Definitely, as Native people, we’re here, we’re strong, we’re really trying to maintain our way of life, this life that we love and this life that we have maintained, as our ancestors have for thousands of years. And that there’s like a deep connection to the land. That really is, I guess, super valuable in everything that we do.
