Keep Your Hands Busy: All About the Permafrost, Berries, and Erosion

This film was created by Carmen in Nunam Iqua, Alaska as part of the National Science Foundation’s CBIKS (Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges & Science) film workshop in April 2026. See Stories led the workshop in collaboration with the CBIKS place-based team.

Carmen’s film explores the relationship between berry picking and permafrost change, highlighting how shifts in the land are impacting subsistence practices and seasonal knowledge.
