I caught a glimpse of the heritage of the Natives of Southeast Alaska, when visiting. The Sealaska Heritage Center is a small museum in Juneau that features the history and art of the Tlingit Haida people. The Sealaska motto is “Heritage Forward - We honor our ancestors and pave the way for the future by making heritage a living thing.” *

Much like Krista’s Morty, Gypsy arrived last October on a cloudy Saturday morning and secured her forever home. The veterinarian called for several weeks the number listed on her micro chip but never received a response. She had traveled over 25 miles to be here and so now I try to teach her to pick up her toys and put them in the box when she’s finished playing with them. It’ll take a while.
