CURRENT MISSION Enjoy every second of my life. ABOUT ME Hello, I was born in Juneau, Alaska from my 100% Tlingit Native American mother and was raised by my Great Grandmother and her immediate family partly in my village, Kluckwan and partly in the town of Haines, Alaska and partly in the city of Juneau, Alaska. My life has been wonderful and full of smoked salmon and canoeing on the river with friends and family. Being raised Native American in Alaska has left me enjoying the outdoors even if it is freezing. I believe in a Native American lifestyle in the 20th century. I enjoy coffee, hiking, canoeing, down-hill-skiing, whale watching, traveling, berry picking, working out, playing with children, hanging out with elders, night clubs, hang-gliding, smoked salmon. PHILOSOPHY I sat on Socrates stone he died on showing the world that the masses are not always correct or right. It was very moving.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing moment was when my movie went to the Smithsonian and I saw it in the silver screen for the first time. My face was so huge. It was a very emotional experience. Another amazing moment was spending new years with my mother a few days ago, also my birthday. We are getting to know each other finally and she is wanting to come to fish camp with me this summer as she has never done it. Another amazing moment, well there are so many, but was when I was holding hands at the Hipodroom Arena in Paris watching Micheal Jackson live. All 88,000 people were singing and holding hands crying at the same time.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to teach people about my culture.
My Interests
Things that interest me include comedy, smoked salmon, travel, good friends, and strong family ties. I am not sure if there is anything I could not do without help from friends and most importantly my family. In giving back to the women who raised me and my Uncle Mike, I decided to make a wonderful comedy film feature length, 80 minutes about me and my family going to 'Fish Camp' in the summer. It has now received awards and has been traveling all over the world. The movie is non-profit and does not make any money, but when I can I am traveling with it to show up for questions and answers. The next screening is in Gothenburg, Sweden on the 30th at the film festival there.
