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.

Thursday July 23 at 6pm Pacific Time I will be in Portland, Oregon, sort of, courtesy of the legendary Powell’s City of Books store in conversation with NY Times political reporter Jennifer Steinhauer and author of The Firsts. I am reading it now, and it’s fascinating; an insider’s guide into the halls of power and the daily lives of the women walking them. Between Jennifer’s expertise and Portland’s issues with the federal troops, this should be interesting. You are invited. Just click here to sign up.
