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.

Papa Bob just left for a massage, the dog is walked and dishes are done, and since it’s raining I figured I had a minute to catch you up– then Stoli called and asked if I’d watch baby Lani while she went to Zumba. Well, of course. So you’ll have to settle for the most recent family photo (all of us except Eliza, but she was actually here last night and has already flown back to Juneau, but somehow wtih all the activity we missed the photo-op).
