My name is Lisa Edenshaw-Krieger and I'm from a small town called Klawock, which is located northwest of Ketchikan. I'm a Tlingit and Haida. My mom is a full-blooded Tlingit and my dad was of Haida descent. My siblings and I were raised in Ketchikan when we were young.
These communities have plenty of food that we gather each year and provides the nourishment we need for healthy benefits. It's no easy task to complete some of the steps needed to preserve food. We have what is called a smoke-house. We use alderwood to smoke our salmon over night before canning it. Other food we can use a dehydrator, sun dry, add pickling spice to wild vegetables.
We have a unique culture and history and we still teach our youth to speak our language with continued efforts to guide them to be skilled artists and demonstrate traditional native values.
I been giving tours of this historic community since 2010. To learn more about the native tribes and the history of Ketchikan, I will be educating you about the people, the land and the animals that we share this island with. We are traditional people with songs and stories to tell and some you will hear through our totems.
I look forward to hearing from you.
