says:I just heard Samuel Johns on KSKA 91.1 FM Anchorage Alaska talking about his movie and music and so many other things. However they also played a song called”I want to acknowledge you “ it is a five minute song that is telling someone who maybe has been feeling depressed or suicidal for sticking with life etc there are two other singers who contribute as well. It is an INCCREDIBLE SONG!!!!!! I have not figured out how to get a copy of the song yet and it was not on my Shazam search. Anyway I would appreciate it if anyone knows where to get the recording of this song.
Also Samuel Johns spirit is contagious and wonderful to hear. He is truly a gift for all of us to hear and know

says:Good job Samuel! This is a great idea to bring back pride in your culture a good first step to healing broken spirits. Also so proud of how calmly and quietly you told Governor Dunleavy that our Alaskan values promote open meetings and dialogue that is not co opted by groups profiting from Alaska’s resources. We are Alaskan first. You give me hope that the young generation will lead us on a better path.

says:Wow! How beautiful this is! It’s about time someone took the initiative and started a project like this. Technology doesn’t have to be a demon. It can be used for such wonderful purposes and can promote healing, love, and unity. I offer the example of what this man has done in order to make this happen.
