‘Wáats’asdíyei Joe Yates

Díi Xaatáagang — I am a Kaigani Haida from Craig, Alaska, and a storyteller at heart. I’ve written for PBS Kids’ Molly of Denali and worked as a field producer, editor, and photographer for National Geographic’s Life Below Zero.

Cedar Group’s professionalism and creative energy drew me in immediately. I love collaborating with our client teams and Cedar’s creatives to deliver work that truly makes an impact. Being part of such a talented and generous team is inspiring every day. After being away from Southeast Alaska for over a decade, I am eager to share everything I have learned and tell our stories for our people.
