‘Wáats’asdíyei Joe Yates

Díi Xaatáagang – I am a Kaigani Haida – Our people migrated from Haida Gwaii over 200-years ago and traded with the Tlingits for land. Díi Náan, my grandmother was the first one in our family to be born, 1913, in what we now call Alaska.

I was a writer for the PBS Kids show Molly of Denali, a field producer/editor/and photographer for National Geographic’s show Life Below Zero. Cedar Group’s energy and professionalism gravitated me towards them and this feels like a wonderful fit.

I frequently engage with our client teams to understand their needs and collaborate with Cedar’s creative teams to develop our recommended solutions. Delivering a high-quality product that clients love and benefit from is exhilarating. I find it truly inspiring to work alongside a team of brilliant, kind, creative, and hardworking individuals.
