Summary
Petersburg just launched its first killer whale canoe, kéet yaakw, for a historic 100-mile paddle to Juneau — the first time in recorded history the community has embarked on this sacred Journey. This Tlingit-style fiberglass vessel, hand-painted and carrying elders and first-time paddlers, symbolizes cultural revival and ancestral connection. With stops along the way and arrival in Juneau just in time for the Celebration festival, the trip is as much about unity and heritage as it is about endurance — and after a century of waiting, this voyage feels like destiny.
