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 have just posted the first chapter of Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs on my website, you may go to the new section “videos” to watch it. (I think, it may take a bit to all line up.) I plan on reading the book, all 15 chapters, through April, so will post about one chapter every other day, perhaps more often. I hope you like it. I’m a little nervous. (Also, know that is one take, because if I spent too much time making it perfect I’d give up, so be kind. It’s all very informal. I figured we could both use the company right now. Hopefully I’ll get better as we go along…) There is also a new question and answer section on the video page, so I can talk more directly to you. Please feel free to send a note, and I will do my best to respond asap.
