As Tlingit people we have do whatever it takes to protect our elders and future generations. For more than 10 thousand years we have passed on our way of life and allowed each generation to adapt to every new challenge. It is told that long ago Raven stole the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars and gave them to his grandchildren, the people of earth. It is our responsibility as humans to take care of the land and each other. Now is the time to protect what is precious and at risk due to the pandemic. Protect with power, stay home, wear a mask, wash your hands, and remember you have the strength of your ancestors with you!
