 When we started development and production of Molly Denali our mission was to reflect the richness and diversity of Alaska Native cultures through the story of ten-year-old Molly Mabre and the community of Kaia. Molly Denali is the first nationally distributed animated children series with an indigenous main character. So in order to tell this story we knew Alaska Native people needed to be part of every aspect of the show. We're proud that our team of writers, producers, actors, and cultural advisors represent a multitude of backgrounds helping us to tell the authentic stories of Native tribes. Even though Molly is Alaska Native our goal was for her history and culture to inspire kids worldwide allowing them to see a reflection of themselves within Molly's adventures. We continuously hear from children and their families across the country about the positive impact Molly has made on their lives. That's because the deeper messages the show communicates about unity, collaboration, family respect, and dignity are universal. Through the lens of Molly we're introducing indigenous languages into mainstream media which is hugely important to maintaining Native culture for future generations. We are also starting conversations about community, discrimination, and the human impact on our climate. As we continue to produce more content it's been exciting to see the evolution of Molly and the stories that we can tell. We are continually thinking of new ways to connect with our audience and we cannot wait for what the future holds. Weekdays on Jack's PBS.
