It was created with an Alaska Native working group of Indigenous screenwriters, producers, production teams, advisers and even Alaska Native children, who are featured in the show\u2019s live-action interstitials, teaching young viewers about their way of life. Each Native American character is also voiced by Indigenous talent.<\/p>\n<p>Sovereign Bill voices the main character, 10-year-old Molly Mabray of the Gwich\u2019in\/Koyukon\/Dena\u2019ina Athabascan tribes. Yupik band Pamyua plays the theme song with traditional drums and the Athabascan fiddle. The series\u2019 creative producer is Alaska Native Princess Daazhraii Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching Native values\u2014like honoring elders, respecting the Earth and finding joy in rural life\u2014is key to the show&#8217;s narrative. The series explores how technology can aid in literacy, learning and communication, showcasing Native Americans in a modern light, rather than as relics of the past. Molly uses informational texts like books, the internet, maps, tables, photos and more to solve problems. She even has her own vlog and shares dispatches about her life with kids in the \u201clower 48,\u201d helping to show them that, though some aspects of her life may be different than theirs, they share many things in common, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBS Kids is set to premiere the first-ever national children\u2019s series to feature Native American leads, Molly of Denali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":16727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[3670,146],"class_list":["post-16726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-molly-of-denali","tag-pbs-kids","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PBS Kids Readies Molly of Denali - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"PBS Kids Readies Molly of Denali - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PBS Kids is set to premiere the first-ever national children\u2019s series to feature Native American leads, Molly of Denali.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-12T13:50:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-12T14:20:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/Molly-of-Denali-PBS-Kids-719.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/\",\"name\":\"PBS Kids Readies Molly of Denali - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-12T13:50:51+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-07-12T14:20:10+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/pbs-readies-first-native-american-led-kids-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"PBS Kids Readies Molly of Denali\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
