Artist Arias Hoyle just released a new music video with help from kids in Nanwalek. 'I really like to manifest both my Tlingit side and my African-American side into music,' he says. 'Essentially, I make Afro-Indigenous hip-hop.”
Arias Hoyle and a videographer out of Anchorage traveled across Kachemak Bay in September 2022 to capture videos of K-12 students in the small community of Nanwalek. Friday featuring students from Nanwalek — a predominantly Sugpiaq/Alutiiq village on the southwestern tip of the Kenai Peninsula that is only accessible by air and water.
“I often combine my Indigenous language, the Tlingit from my people, with rap and hip-hop music,” Hoyle said. “I really like to do projects that are inclusive of Indigenous people, especially around Alaska. And I really like to manifest both my Tlingit side and my African-American side into music. Essentially, I make Afro-Indigenous hip-hop.”. Nanwalek got only a fraction of its normal rainfall, so local officials shut off water for 12 hours every night and the state issued a boil water notice.
Last month, Hoyle and Hanna Craig, a videographer out of Anchorage, traveled across Kachemak Bay to capture videos of K-12 students in the small community.
