Eagle River resident Kelsey Ciungun Wallace has been sharing her Native pride on TikTok videos, some of which have become wildly popular. She was even recently featured on Good Morning America.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Eagle River resident Kelsey Ciungun Wallace is planning the menu for Thursday, a turkey with the fixings but also moose meat and dried fish, maybe with seal oil. It’s a blend of traditional holiday foods and traditional Native foods to celebrate Wallace’s Yupik heritage.

“Truthsgiving, to myself and my immediate family, means creating these healthy spaces with our kids, even at a young age, to share with them the truth about the history of Thanksgiving,” she said. In reality, Wallace said, Native people were exploited and oppressed by the colonists who came to their land and took their food. Being able to acknowledge that is important, although sometimes uncomfortable to talk about, she said.

Wallace has been sharing her Native pride on TikTok videos, some of which have become wildly popular. Recently, a video she did suggesting positive things people can do on Thanksgiving to honor Native Americans, struck a chord with a reporter from the Good Morning America show.
