A winged seesaw encourages the smile of this young girl, paying respect to her Kiks.ádi, frog crest lineage. Her stomach tumbles in that moment when her unseen seesaw partner lets gravity take their weight down, pushing her skyward. Her Alaska native coastal cedar hat sports a jaunty feather that matches her own playful energy. Yes, a playful lightness, a feeling of wellness grounded in resilience and determination with life’s ups and downs. Yes, she still plays, kicking her fur boots up into the air, letting the wind lift her and the Tlingit robe wrap her in warmth and safety.
