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.

 It has been so mild (mid forties and sunny) everyone is hoping that this might be spring, even though we know better. We have been walking, jogging, and even riding bikes.  I heard someone even caught a steelhead out on the river.  Here is what all that melting snow and ice looks like around town.
