RAVEN'S RADIO HOUR

Rooted in Naparyarmiut (Hooper Bay), born in Bethel and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Jack Dalton has grown up as an ambassador between two worlds, his Yup'ik Inuit and European heritages.

A professional storyteller, actor, writer and teacher, Jack has been honored by the World Indigenous Peoples' Conference on Education as a Distinguished Dignitary.

His play, Time Immemorial, premiered in April 2009, and was selected as part of The Autry National Center’s Native Voices Festival of New Plays. “Cauyaqa Nauwa?: Where Is My Drum?” is his first “musical/opera,” co-written with Stephan Blanchett of the esteemed Yup’ik group Pumyua, is in development.

His play “Raven’s Radio Hour” will be featured at the 2011 Alaska State Fair as part of “Raven’s People: Celebrating Alaska Native Cultures” program.
