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.

You can tell Tom was a little shorthanded at the paper last week because he ran this rather long interview with me about the cross-country team which I coached, but you might find it interesting.  The new CVN reporter has arrived, and she is a terrific young reporter and writer– a journalism major from Northwestern. Also, for those of you who read the news that Suzie was having triplets (in the South Pacific program) that was a joke, and in other baby news,  so far as I know this morning,  baby Goode Knight hasn’t arrived, but Kendra would really like him to, and so would grandma-to-be Carol Knight, who has been taking care of their dog. Mostly that involves chasing Bandit (a clever and quick Australian shepherd)  up and down the beach and in and out of chicken coops.
