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.

From Anna Quindlen’s A Short Guide to a Happy Life: “C’mon, let’s be honest. We have an embarassment of riches. Life is good. I don’t mean in a cosmic way. I never think of my life, or my world, in any big cosmic way…Learn to be happy and think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do you will live it with joy and passion.”
