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 case you haven’t heard, there is a parade in from the ferry tomorrow morning (Friday) for the victorious team. (Check to be sure it’s on time, but the plan is to gather about 11:15 out there.)  Then there will be a pep rally in the gym, and everyone is encouraged to come. Wear Glacier Bear green. Make a banner or poster  for your window if you are on Main St. (Or anywhere they might see it.) Heck, paint the town with them. The boys at Lutak Lumber out did themselves. They want it to be seen from the ferry. They could use one of Linnus’s art classes, but it’s the thought, and size, that counts.
