My people are carvers, we shape what we see, But no cedar spirit is as moving to me As the way you walk through the willow and birch, The end of a journey, the find of a search. I’ll bring you ooligan grease, strong as the sun, To keep your hearth warm when the summer is done. I’ll bring you the dentalium, polished and white, To hang from your ears like the stars in the night.

They say the mountains are walls between us, High peaks of granite and ancient dust. But water finds a way to the smallest crack, And I’m paddling north—I’m not looking back. I’ll learn the songs that your grandmothers knew, If it means I can sing them alongside of you.

Oh, Daughter of the North, where the permafrost holds, I’ll bring you the copper and the stories of old. I am the river, and you are the light, The aurora that dances in the middle of night. Let the Skeena wind carry my heart to your door, From the edge of the trees to the Arctic floor.

I’m an intersection of ancient heritage and rebellious modern subculture. As an INFP/Pisces, my emotional depth is oceanic - vast, intuitive, and empathetic.

ADHD acts as the "lightning" in that ocean, a brain that sparks with many ideas at once, finding connections between things most people miss. I don't just "think"; I feel and envision.

I wear my resistance on my sleeve. The Punk in me demands authenticity and challenges the status quo, while the Goth side finds beauty in the shadows, the mysterious, and the profound.

Choosing a Sober life within these subcultures is perhaps my most "punk" move of all - a radical act of clarity and self-preservation in a world that often encourages numbness. Being an INFP/Pisces, I already feel everything at an 11. I realized I’d rather experience the world with total clarity and keep my 'punk' edge sharp than numb it out.

I have a voice that speaks ancient phonemes into a modern microphone. I am a protector of the sacred and a disruptor of the mundane.

A huge part of my soul is dedicated to language revitalization. It’s more than just learning words; it’s about reclaiming a worldview that was almost stolen. It’s my way of honoring where I come from and ensuring it has a future. It’s pretty central to how I spend my time and energy.

I have an ADHD brain, which means I tend to go 'all-in' on things that fascinate me - whether it’s a language project or a person I’m getting to know. If I seem really intense, it’s just my brain’s way of being curious. I value honesty, so feel free to tell me if I’m moving at 100 mph and you’re at 55.
