Thank-you Sealaska Corporation, Sealaska Heritage Foundation and all the volunteers that made Celebration 2004 in Juneau, Alaska so successful.

Special thank-you to the Yees Ku Oo dance group-Juneau for allowing me and my family to dance with you. Special thank-you to Ms. Marge Byrd, Shx at Kwaan dancers-Wrangell for the kind words for Ms. Ester Shea and allowing my family to dance with your group. Real special thank-you to my brothers; Kenny, Jimmy and tribal brother Joe Reeves and his family for their hospitality and opening up their homes for us.

Words can not describe the energy at Celebration 2004. Meeting old friends and meeting new friends.

Gunalcheesh Ho Ho,
