Totem & House

Thanksgiving morning at Chief Son-i-Hat's Whale House in Kasaan, Alaska...We can see the effects of weather and time on the building, also called Naay I'waans (Nye EE'wahnss, "The Great House").

In order to raise funds to restore Naay I'waans to its original condition, Organized Village of Kasaan offers "Save The Whale House" t-shirts and hoodies for sale ONLINE. Click Here Haw'aa!

Totem & Me

On this day, I am incredibly thankful to have found myself, after all these years, living 30 miles from where I grew up and about 30 feet or so from where my dad grew up. Kasaan, Alaska--the place I always loved to visit and always hated to leave, now I live there.

It's a long, long way both mentally and physically from New York City, my home for the last 15 years. Do you like apples? How about THEM apples??

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sun Break

When a break in the rain occurs, what better place to be than Chief Son-i-Hat's Whale House?

Rothko Sunset

After work, as I walked to the Totem Park trail, I saw this scene. Reminded me of a Mark Rothko painting...

All summer, the ravens of Hydaburg would never let me take a photo of them. This one didn't see me, I guess.
