I will never know exactly who I am, What I should do, What I should go by, Marie Sarabia or Aan Dux Joon.. But what I do know is that my being Gaanauxteidi is my pride, my well being, my identity. My home, My REAL home is gone, taken by the buildings that we walk in or by. My REAL home is the soil under my feet. Biologically I am connected because the land I walk on, Culturally I am connected by being Raven Woodworm. My future is my path, I hope to be a fluent Tlingit speaker. I am jealous of the children that got to speak Tlingit as their first language and I did not. Yesterday when we
went on the walk at sandy beach, we were surrounded my plants I h ave never seen. Ricky showed us a plant called the japanese knotweed. They will never die, even if you try to pull the roots out. They will NEVER die! Also they can kill salmon that are in the water near them.
