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 will be away from my desk– and thus the blog– until April 29th. Chip and I are going to grown-up bike camp in California, which should be really fun. I will tell you about it when I return. Stoli is tending the chickens, and the trusty housesitter and her entourage (it’s complicated, as they say) are in charge of home, hearth, and Phoebe. Pearl has already left for next door, as she prefers to hang out with the babies anyway. So, have a good weekend– and week– enjoy Passover and Easter, and I’ll check in as soon as I get home. Wish me luck!
