Mon., Jul. 15 at 8:30am & 4pm on WKAR–TV 23.1 |Molly of Denali is an action-adventure comedy that follows the adventures of feisty and resourceful Molly Mabray, a 10-yearold Alaska Native girl.

Molly helps her mom and dad run the Denali Trading Post, a general store, bunkhouse, and transport hub in the fictional village of Qyah, Alaska. See Molly, her dog, Suki, and her friends, Tooey and Trini, on their daily adventures in Alaska, from fishing to building snow forts.

Viewers are introduced to the rich history and modern-day experience of family life in the heart of the Alaskan tundra through the eyes of Molly, her parents, and her friends. Designed to help kids develop skills around informational text such as using a map and following an instruction manual, funders of Molly of Denali will also be aligning with the first nationally distributed children’s series in the U.S. to feature an Alaska Native lead character.
