In 2012, rapper Pitbull's promotion with Walmart promised a visit to the store with the most Facebook likes. Internet users, led by writer David Thorpe, campaigned to send him to the most remote U.S. Walmart in Kodiak, Alaska. Pitbull honored his commitment, performed there, and invited Thorpe to join him.

'Mesmerizing Cross Fox'

"I captured this image of a cross fox handheld from a rocking boat in a remote area on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Red foxes are native to Kodiak Island and the Kodiak red fox belongs to a separate subspecies, Vulpes vulpes harrimani. There are three common color variations of them: red, silver/black, and cross, the latter with a black/brown cross on the back and shoulders. “

can you do the Kodiak Bear? its a subspecies & idk your policy on that, but theyre basically brown bears that got separated from the rest of the brown bear population at the end of the last ice age and underwent the Island Gigantism phenomenon as a result!

Subspecies are super cool! Great choice!

hey so thinking about how in sic transit gloria mundi when a grizzly bear (also called kodiak bears) comes out of the woods into their little camp and lottie kills it and it provides them food and now how a man named kodiak comes out of the woods into their little camp and will probably provide them food is this anything

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH: Tanya Lukin Linklater

Today we feature the art and poetry of multidisciplinary artist Tanya Lukin Linklater (b. 1976) from southwestern Alaska. Her work incorporates dance, sculpture, textiles, video, and text, and often draws on the lived experiences of indigenous peoples. She is of Alutiiq heritage and an enrolled tribal member of Native Villages of Afognak and Port Lions on the Kodiak Island archipelago. The poems featured are from Slow Scrape; our copy is a second edition published in 2022 by Talonbooks, in Vancouver, British Columbia.

In her introduction to the collection, the poet Layli Long Soldier suggests that Lukin Linklater’s power establishes itself in her choreographer’s mastery of rhythm (“text in step”), and in the relational themes of the poems: “Through particulars of place, language, and culture, people begin to know each other; and erasure (rife with overlooking, forgetting, denial and invisibility) becomes impossible.” It is not dominance and defiance that characterizes these relations, the power is in the knowledge: “We feel for one another.”

The images are from various projects of Lukin Linklater’s featured in An Indigenous Present, edited by Jeffrey Gibson and Jenelle Porter for BIG NDN Press out of New York City in 2023. The collection gathers dynamic visual work and writing from contemporary Native North American artists.

Check out a recent consideration of Lukin-Linklater’s work in Art Review.

My own self-image includes antlers -

More than just a girl

And a little Sitka Deer.

Growing up eating Salmon Berries

And watching Fireweed,

Trying to predict the Winter.

Jumping fences and swimming channels

In search of something,

Something perhaps better.

But -

Less than a handful of places

To ever call home,

Not quite adaptable, never quite enough.
