In this mini-documentary, you’ll learn about Julia Jacob’s remarkable life from her early years in the Old Man House to her time at an Indian Boarding School. She was an adopted black woman who was adopted and raised in the Suquamish tribe. Through the words and work of her descendant, Suquamish tribal elder and master basket weaver Ed Eugene Carriere, the film reveals how Julia’s life became a vessel for Indigenous traditions that might otherwise have been lost. Urbanist Media produced this video for BlackPast.org. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Suquamish Tribe and the Suquamish Foundation.
Responsibilities: Research, script writing, image sourcing, outreach, oral history interviews, fact-checking, and production support.

★★★★★ This podcast is both a celebration of the enduring nature of the art scene in the city and a call to action to get out there and be a part of the recovery. You don’t have to jump in a plane to get the inside scoop on the entertainment scene, but you just might want to.
