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.

 How did I raise my children without the 5-point child restraint strap and buckles system? I have just installed a car seat in my Subaru, but getting Caroline into it properly might take a NASA engineer. I think I may just stick with the stroller. That’s not all. Before she could have lunch in her  new high chair we had to read the instructions. The thing is designed like an ejecting seat for baby F-16 pilots. I’m surprised she doesn’t have to wear a helmet and goggles. You’d think with all this technology they’d design a tray that cleaned itself, or at least didn’t require a pancake flipper to scrape off the dried squash.
