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.

In other news, tomorrow night at the Elks Lodge (5-8) there will be a fundraising dinner for Faith Touhy. Dianne Nelson said Faith has been under going chemo treatments for  breast cancer, and has had to stop working, and while medicaid has been helpful, “the bills are beginning to accumulate.” She promises good food, fellowship, and that good feeling you get from comforting a neighbor. There will be vegetarian and meat lasagna, salad, garlic bread and cake. The suggested donation is 10$ for adults, 5$ for children, 8$ for seniors, and 30$ for the family. Kids under five are free.
