Rocky Rescue revealed her surname when Molly's mom flies her to provide medical assistance and she sends a text message to Molly. Prior to this, there had not been concrete evidence that she was the mother of Tooey who had been referenced a couple times before.

## Etymology

Name Game revealed that her Native name is Atsaq, and it was given to her by her great uncle. Atsaq means "berry" in the Yup'ik language.

She is one of the few characters who goes by her Native name, rather than having an alternate western name for general usage.

## Other appearances

In A Splash of Mink she is present watching the band play.

During Operation Sleepover she is hesitant to let dogs in the house but eventually relents if the kids will make sure they remain on their best behavior. She is lenient with the kids and dogs, telling them she'll pretend not to see the mess the dogs made if the kids clean it up.

In Porcupine Slippers she reveals that she and Layla were childhood friends, and that Layla was given the nickname "Eagle Eye" by Atsaq and their friends.

## Trivia

* Prior to her first appearance, Tooey's mother had been mentioned in other episodes:
	+ the end of "Name Game": Tooey‘s mom is mentioned, and is revealed to be a doctor when Aunt Merna mentions seeing her for a scratchy throat.
	+ in “Fiddle of Nowhere," it's revealed that she's a fiddler.

Kenji Ookami

**Kenji Ookami** is Tooey’s fatherwho was at first only a mentioned character in *Molly of Denali*, until he made his debut in the episode "First Fish".

He mentions "growing up in Japan" in Puzzled.

## Personality

Kenji is extremely kind-hearted to everyone, no matter who they are. He's a great father to Tooey and a trustworthy friend to everyone else in Qyah. He's an active member of the Qyah community, taking in part in events such as the jig (he plays the acoustic guitar there) and saving the kids' clubhouse in Not So Permafrost.  He's also very wise, as he knows the solutions to various problems and remains calm and patient during a crisis. He also shows patience when Tooey and his friends get up to their many shenanigans. For example, in Qyah Spy, he wasn't mad at all when he found out that Molly and Tooey were spying on him, instead offering them a snack. When Tooey started compulsively labeling all of his things to keep his brothers from using them, Kenji gently teased him about it instead of scolding or lecturing him. He's also knowledgeable when it comes to animals, befitting his career as a musher and sled dog breeder. Tooey looks up to him and wishes to be like him.

## Appearance

Kenji is a middle aged man with black eyes, black hair, and tan skin. He usually wears a light brown long sleeve shirt with brown cuffs around his neck and arms and a brown chest pocket on the left side, brown cargo pants, and brown sneakers with dark brown laces and dark brown soles. He somewhat resembles an older version of his son, Tooey.

In the wintertime, he wears a fuzzy winter hat similar to what Tooey wears. He wears a large turquoise coat with a wool hood. He also wears blue mittens.

## Trivia

* He is Yup'ik, Koyukon and Japanese.
* He's from the Hokkaido prefecture.
* He knows how to play the acoustic guitar, as shown in the episode A Splash of Mink and Fiddlesticks.
* He has a habit of losing his wallet, so Luka was trained to help find it for him.

Dried salmon is made from the king salmon that swim upriver during the spawning season. Traditionally, Athabascan communities host fish camps during the salmon run. Molly and Tooey join Nat and Kenji at fish camp in the episode King Run. The fish camp upstream from Qyah includes huts for dehydrating and smoking fish and making it into luk gaih.

Once dried and preserved, the salmon can be packed at room temperature for long trips. Molly offers Grandpa Nat a big bag of dried salmon for his volcanology excursion to the Aleutian Islands in New Nivagi. Uncle Cliff prepares a bag of dried salmon for a set-net fishing trip in Molly of the Yukon.

Lumpia

>
>
> -Molly and  Vera's search results for "Sinukwan festival foods*"*
>
>
>
>

**Lumpia** is a Filipino appetizer or snack that is similar to egg rolls. Molly and Vera make lumpia for a culture fair in the episode Filibascan Chefs.

Lumpia is a popular festival food and is served at the Sinukwan Festival in the Philippines. It can be served with a dipping sauce such as *sukang maanghang*. It is made with eggs, onions, select veggies, spices and choice of meat, rolled up in a rice paper wrap and fried in oil. Linda Malakas likes to make her lumpia with caribou sausage.

Lumpia is one of Linda's favorite foods, as its flavor reminds her of her childhood.
Caribou

**Caribou** are a member of the deer family that can be found in Alaska, where Molly of Denali takes place. One can be seen grazing in the theme song.

## Description

Caribou are large deer that inhabit the northernmost parts of North America. They are a subspecies of reindeer, but unlike European and Siberian reindeer, they have never been domesticated. Both male and female caribou grow antlers, which is a unique feature among deer. The males' antlers are much larger than those of the females, and they shed them annually, whereas the females may keep their antlers for longer.

## Cultural Importance

Molly's ancestors on her mother's side are all Gwich'in. The name Gwich'in translates to "people of the caribou." Historically, the Gwich'in have relied heavily on migratory caribou herds that pass through the arctic between wintering grounds and summer grounds. The Porcupine River caribou herd is especially important to the Gwich'in, and the preservation of their calving grounds has been the center of debate regarding the development of arctic lands for many years.

When a caribou is harvested, every part of it is used. The hide is used to make clothing, and even the toe bones can be used to make a game called *diitsi kwaihtal*.

The main Gwich'in word for caribou is *vadzaih*. The Gwich'in also have many different words pertaining to caribou.
Healy

**Healy, Alaska** is where Kenji finds someone with the Higginbottom surname: Elizabeth, in searching for a relation of Ebeneezer Higginbottom who previously owned Tooey Ookami's house prior to the Coopers living in Tooey's house.

Healy is a real town in the interior of Alaska. It is located south of Nenana, on the eastern side of Denali National Park.
Maurice Malakas

## Maurice

**Maurice** is a character in *Molly of Denali*. He runs the local Qyah Co-Op. He's also a coach for the school basketball team, the Qyah Northern Lights.

In Filibascan Chefs, he is revealed to be Vera's father.

## Personality

Maurice is a very friendly and cheerful person. He likes keeping track of celebrities who pass through Qyah. As the coach of the Northern Lights, he's very encouraging, pushing the kids to do their best without putting too much pressure on them to win games.

Maurice has a bit of a tendency to go along with popular consensus, believing in the old (and disproven) remedy for skunk/mink spray that involves tomato juice. He also can get a little starstruck when meeting minor celebrities. However, he also holds to many of his ancestral traditions, keeping a Gwich'in calendar and teaching Vera how to make fish skin wallets. He loves to explore and learn about unfamiliar cultures, and he spent his honeymoon attending a festival in his wife's hometown in the Philippines.

## Trivia

* Maurice is Gwich'in.
* His Native name is Shoh Ki', which means "bear's head".
* It appears he took his wife's name rather than the other way around.

Elizabeth Peratrovich

**Elizabeth Peratrovich** (aka **Kaaxgal.aat**) was an American civil rights activist, Grand President of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, and member of the Tlingit nation who worked for equality on behalf of Alaska Natives.

She is featured in Molly and Elizabeth and was voiced by La quen naay Liz Medicine Crow.

A mural of her painted by Crystal Worl is shown at the end of Art From the Heart.

## History

**Ḵaax̲gal.aat** was her original Tlingit name when she was born in 1911 to the Raven moiety.

**Elizabeth Jean Wanamaker** was a western name given to her by her adoptive parents Jean Williams and Andrew Wanamaker, after she was orphaned at a young (unspecified) age and they took her in.

She did not on a different surname until her 1931 marriage to Roy Scott Peratrovich. The episode does not mention this though, and only uses the surname Peratrovich to refer to her.

When she is shown as a young girl in a flashback being barred via broom from a general store, she would still be a Wanamaker not a Peratrovich.

## Trivia

However a proper listing was included on the CBC website, as seen in the reference below.

Cousin Randall

## Randall James

**Randall** (also known to Molly as **Cousin Randall** and on social media as **Randallpants**) is a cousin of Molly Mabray, and a minor/supporting character in the show. He lives in Sitka with his mother Ruth and is close to his great-aunt Merna and great-uncle Jack.

He is Molly's maternal cousin. His mother Ruth is Layla's sister, according to the PBS Kids website.

## Personality

Randall is a typical teenage boy who loves outdoor sports and fishing. He has a favorite halibut hook that he made himself, and he knows how to set up a nursery for herring, using spruce branches that they then lay their eggs on. He is connected to his uncle's Tlingit community, accompanying them on canoeing trips and participating in totem raisings. Nothing is known about Randall's father, but it's implied he is (or was) Tlingit, which would make Randall Tlingit like Uncle Jack and Gwich'in like Ruth and Aunt Merna. Randall is interested in his Tlingit language and heritage, and is excited to be Jack's apprentice in totem making and restoration.

Randall is very close to Molly, treating her as something of a little sister, despite the physical distance between them. He regularly invites her down to Sitka to go fishing or herring egg harvesting with him, and frequently sends her videos of himself performing stunts, or viral shorts that he knows will make her laugh.

Since Randall's father does not appear to be in his life at this time, and Grandpa Nat lives so far away, Randall is shown to be very close to Uncle Jack. He takes his apprenticeship to Jack very seriously, but also has a playful personality that is very similar to Jack's. He is artistic and loves to draw and paint, and he puts a great deal of thought into his artwork, in particular when he intends to gift it to his uncle and aunt.

## Trivia

* In the "Big Gathering" game on the PBS Kids website, Randall's last name is listed as James. This would make Randall's mother Layla's sister, since Layla's maiden name is Kidelee.
* Randall is afraid of dentists. Molly helps him with his fear.
* He is very easily distracted, especially when his favorite sports are playing on TV.
* He likes shortcuts. Sometimes this works to his advantage, such as during a traditional canoe trip to Juneau. Other times it trips him up, such as using an electric mixer to prepare soapberries.
