Salmon Girl, Science Girl - with Talia Davis

Talia Davis grew up in Kake. She's a Salmon Girl and a Science Girl. And maybe also a People Girl? Talia is studying for her master's degree in fisheries science while working to keep her grounding as a Lingít woman from the village. She reflects on being a Native woman in science, and shares her work foregrounding indigenous values in natural resource management. She says:"My goal is that we have management of the land, air, and water that we depend upon."
