I chose my topic, because I think it’s really good to make a website this early in the show, while it’s still new to everything. Molly of Denali is a very communicative show, it also shows how Indigenous kids live like today. I conducted my research on Molly of Denali, as a kid I grew up not seeing people like us on tv. We only saw us as “bad people'' or the “bad guy.” Molly of Denali also shows a lot of communication with Indiginous kids’ lives like today learning about our ancestors and their traditions.
I created my project on the NHD website. My historical argument is the fact that tv has been around for about 94 years, (PBS first came out in 1994.) It took 27 years to get a show about indiginous kids and people. The historical argument is: it that after 27 years, there’s finally an indiginous kids show to show all kids, and even adults, grandmas, grandpas, what indiginous kids live like today. Molly of Denali is very significant to history because it's good for the new generation to see themselves on tv as someone to look up to.
