felt like christmas in mount edgecumbe’s culture room today!
gunalchéesh to everyone who donated to the MEHS culture room through the student arts project—thanks to your kindness the students have what they need to make regalia, qaspeqs, and good food 💛

it snowed in sitka ☹️… i don’t like it, but the herring do, so i tolerate
many people around the world need to relocate due to climate change.
Alaska can show us how to do a good job of a difficult process.
these nice kipnuk people will not be the last to face tough decisions.
any climate change deniers and pro-development candidates are not going to help our tribes, villages, and communities that are facing having to relocate because their homes are no longer safe and inhabitable
one thing about me is that i love my home. i can’t imagine having to evacuate one day and never knowing if i could come back
but that’s a real crisis for kipnuk, and many other alaska tribes
so it’s very important that we support and vote for leaders who recognize and support this issue in alaska
shishmaref seahawks!
TIL quinhagak’s mascot is the seahawks
and halong evacuees formed teams to represent their villages while based in other communities: kwig is in bethel and kipnuk in anchorage
chop and add after
yes
actually it was free
the wild salmon in mehs’ freezer was donated by shee atika (sitka native corp) and distributed by sitka conservation’s fish to schools program
the high school got pallets of sockeye and coho filets… some of which are being used today for a sushi making class for students 🍣

Petition for Selawik Seahawks!
still thinking about that spruce tip bearnaise 🤤
last night felt like cooking for VIPs and edith said “that’s because we are” …the vibes we’re so great—it was a kitchen that was cooking for it’s community and you tasted it in every bite
it’s a beautiful day to celebrate another rotation around the sun!
i don’t think i’ll be able to top the delicious meal we had at mehs last night, but if you’d like to gift me a coffee and a sweet treat for my birthday, my venmo and cashapp are below ☺️
(last 4# of 📞: 7062)
it was totally worth the 2 hours standing there and processing the spruce needles
it was delicious!
tlingit chef edith johnson knocked it out the park tonight for the mount edgecumbe students!
they got baked salmon with spruce tip béarnaise sauce, rosemary parmesan potatoes, roasted carrots, herring egg salad, beef stew, frybread, and sitka huckleberry/mixed berries strudel pies 🤤
had the best time cooking family dinner at mehs tonight with chef edith + team, nana team, and my cousin patty!
a lot of love and good medicine went into tonight’s menu—we went through 400 pieces of frybread!!
the mehs student dance groups all need regalia, drums, and funding for travel
it was so heartwarming to see quki come in, look at their group regalia, and get to work on new headdresses for them
quki (golga oscar) is so cool! today he made 5 headdresses for the mount edgecumbe student yupik dance group 🥺
its so great watching all the students learn to sew with him and he gives them directions in their own language
today was a great day
a little background on how we got golga here 🥰
while the rest of the country celebrates presidents’ day, in alaska we are celebrating ELIZABETH PERATROVICH DAY 🎉… complete with parades, re-enactments, and banquets
elizabeth, a native american woman, was essential in alaska passing the united states’ first anti-discrimination legislation in 1945
Quote by Elizabeth PERATROVICH: “Asking you to give me rights implies that they are yours to give.” Today we remember Tlingit activist and heroine Elizabeth Peratrovich!
We remember today!
golga oscar, yupik, made it to sheet’ká to teach a fur sewing workshop for the mount edgecumbe students!
we made sure he got salmon and herring eggs within 24 hours lol
funniest thing i saw at the party last night was during the gift distribution when i offered a bag of dry fish to this auntie and she responded by pulling a bag out of her bra like, “i got some!”
that’s when i realized i need to step my auntie game up! 😂
i hope i dream in tlingit tonight, that you’re all there, and we’re still singing and dancing together
what a beautiful homecoming for our ancestors! you can feel the love in the hall tonight as our voices became one in welcoming them home after 100 yrs
next, we need to sing our people home too 😉🫶🏼
me too ☺️
