As a playground for kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders and campers, Bear Glacier Lagoon draws a variety of visitors to Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. Bear Glacier Lagoon is a proglacier lagoon -- a lake that forms between a glacier and its moraine. The lagoon is an incredible place to explore and see giant icebergs that have calved from the largest glacier in the park. The bright blue ice and the deep greens of the summer hillsides create a hypnotic contrast. The icebergs may have beautiful features such as arches and tunnels, but don’t let these lure you in too close. They are slowly melting, and it is unpredictable when their balance will shift and they will break or roll. Photo by Jim Pfeiffenberger, National Park Service.

Long ago before western science documented the geological history of Glacier Bay, the story of Kaasteen, an Eagle moiety, Chookaneidí Clan woman was captured in oral tradition, mournful song, and form line design. go.nps.gov/Kaasteen

The details of Kaasteen’s daily life are obscure, but her role in Tlingit history is profound. She is known and honored not just to the Huna Tlingit who call Glacier Bay Homeland, but to Tlingit nations throughout Southeast Alaska. The sacrifice she made on behalf of her people claimed for the Chookaneidí Clan what is now known as Glacier Bay proper. In a world where Tlingit men serve as kaa sháadi háni (leaders), she reminds us of the power of Tlingit women, ancestrally and today.

Thank you for joining us on this month long journey through Alaska women's history.
