Recently I discovered a television show called “Molly of Denali.” As I mentioned before on this blog I am an English teacher, currently living abroad teaching little ones a second language. Sometimes I’ll use clips from television shows in my lessons, whether it’s from a cartoon or a commercial from America; I do this to make the lessons more interesting and to expose them to culture outside of their own.

Immediately I found myself really liking this show. It focuses on a young Native Alaskan girl named Molly Mabray and her life living in a small Alaskan town called Qyah. For one of my lessons I downloaded a clip of an episode in which she and a few other kids perform a dance, and my students enjoyed it.  Here are just a few reasons to appreciate and check out “Molly of Denali.”           1.
