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.

 I am home now after  a few long flights from London to D.C. to Seattle to Juneau and finally up to Haines and so I’ve been out of touch.  I am cleaning my desk today, and getting a little organized– the family, animals, and garden all need some attention. I also have to get back to work, as Harriet Jurgeleit passed away. She had been failing before I left, so it is not unexpected, and she was such a lovely person and she lived a nice long life, that it won’t be too hard write.  I do have some photos to go through as well, which I’ll share. Our last two days in London Grandma Joanne and I got to see rowing and swimming– on the big screen TV down in Greenwich, the way the Londoners do.
