Haa Khusteeyi – “Our Way of Life” Presentation – October 8th, Indigenous People’s Day

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, the Sheldon Jackson Museum will host a special reception and talk by Chuck Miller (Tlingit) on Monday, October 8^th at 5:30pm. During his presentation entitled, Haa Khusteeyi – “Our Way of Life”, Miller will share a selection of artifacts from the museum’s collections storage that are personally significant to him and share stories about how these pieces reflect Tlingit traditional cultural practices and ways of life and his own relevant anecdotes. Join us for a personal interpretation of a few rarely publicly seen artifacts and for a celebration of culture through storytelling. The event, including light snacks and drink sponsored by the Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum, is free and open to the public and will be held in the museum lobby and gallery.  The reception begins at 5:30pm and presentation at 6pm.
