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.

No doubt you were wondering why I haven’t mentioned the Lighting of the Library. That’s because my new column about it is in the Alaska Dispatch. The weekly column about small-town Alaskan life is back. Read it here. (My guess is it will run each Tuesday, but I’ll let you know.)
