I live and write on Lingít Aaní, and gratefully acknowledge the past, present and future caretakers of this beautiful place, the Jilkaat Kwaan and Jilkoot Kwaan.

Before church Easter Sunday I asked Ivy (almost three) if the Easter Bunny had come to her house, and she said, “No.”

What no Easter Bunny? 

“Santa Claus left us baskets of candy and presents and Jesus is going to hide eggs in the yard,” she said.
