My name is Jill, my Lingít name is Kaasteen. I am of the Chookaneidí clan, our main crests being Eagle and Brown Bear. I come from Hoonah, AK, though now I reside in Juneau, AK, home of the Áakʼw Ḵwáan. Along with being a Lingít artist, I also work in our Lingít language. I am a mother to two beautiful children who are the most important parts of my life.
