Reblogged from Lingit Latseen:
We survived another Celebration and many of us only have sore thighs and a new Facebook profile pic to show for it. For me the most significant part was the landing of the canoes at Aak'w Bay, with the Aak'w Kwáan clan leaders there to receive them in their at.oowu. The Aak'w Kwáan clan leaders were very regal and real, and the strong young men landing were full of the strength and life that make a tribe truly a tribe.
