Description: Shawn Muese’ Fesagaiga’s addiction to meth was what landed her at the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center. For the next five years, she would lose contact with her six sons.

Last year she composed a lullaby for them called, “Angels from Heaven,” because that’s how she thinks of them. The lullaby was written in her native Samoan language, which she says helped her reconnect with her children after her from Hiland this year.

Shawn returned to Hiland this year as a mentor and performer in the project, her way of “paying it forward.”

We spent some time with Shawn recently at the New Hope Safe Living Home, run by Alaska Correctional Ministries. We also got to meet three of her angels from heaven – Felise, Josef and Uno, who had a big surprise for their mom, when she got out of prison.

This next segment is about the life of a lullaby, born of pain yet full of healing powers Shawn never imagined possible. Here’s Part 2 of...

Description: Both inmates and musicians say the Lullaby Project is a life-changing experience. This is the second year of the program at the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center, in which the two groups of women came together to write lullabies for the inmates’ children. The musicians later record the songs in a studio.

One of the most emotional moments in the program: when Hiland moms hear the CD of their lullabies for the first time. The debut of the CD took place on Nov. 1, the same day that followed five heroin overdoses in a 24-hour period at Hiland. While the two events are unconnected, the overdoses underscored the importance of the project. Here’s Part 1 of this week’s Frontiers, “Lullaby Project 2017: Paying it Forward.”

Description: Most Americans have no idea that Alaska is home to one of the most innovative programs in the nation for wounded veterans.

This week on Frontiers we look at “Operation Heal Our Patriots,” a wilderness retreat at Port Alsworth for wounded veterans and their spouses. It’s run by Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian disaster relief organization.

Here are some of this week’s highlights:

• Post Traumatic Growth: When Jon Schumaker stepped on a bomb in Afghanistan, his life changed and so did his marriage.

• Beyond the War: How combat injuries affect more than just the veteran but often the whole family. How Samaritan’s Purse uses spirituality to help wounded veterans and their spouses heal from the trauma of war.

Description: Turn the clock back fifty or sixty years. At that time, many Alaska Natives lived almost entirely on a diet of wild foods. Thanks to the film archives at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, you can see what it took to live a true subsistence lifestyle. In this footage, captured by Marvin “Muktuk” Marston, as he recruited for the Alaska Territorial Guard, you can see a beluga whale hunt that occurred sometime in the 1940’s. The location of the village is unknown.

Description: If you want job security, good pay, love airplanes and working on engines – you might consider becoming an airplane mechanic. In this week’s Frontiers, “Alaska Aviation: Onwards and Upwards,” we look at what’s fueling the growing need for airplane mechanics and why meeting this demand is critical to Alaska’s economy.

Industry experts predict a shortage of both mechanics and pilots for at least the next two decades. In Alaska, it takes a special combination of talents to work on the wide variety of aircraft used in our state. Many have been in service for more than a half century, still in use in Alaska because of our remote and challenging runways. Here’s Part 2 of this week’s Frontiers: a look at the UAA Aviation Technology Center’s training program for the mechanics of tomorrow.
