Nestled along the banks of the Chilkat River rests an ancient Tlingit village called Klukwan which literally means “Eternal Village,” from the Tlingit phrase “Tlakw Aan”. Klukwan enjoys a multi-layered cultural history that is preserved through the Tlingit language, rituals, stories, oral histories, and subsistence activities practiced by the Chilkat Tlingits, a federally recognized tribe known as the Chilkat Indian Village.
New Joy Arts partnered with individuals working and serving the Chilkat Community to mentor and encourage their creativity in life and work. In 2019 Angela Houk spent one week with the community to come alongside local creatives, speak on creativity and teach workshops that explored the role of spirituality & personal expression through creative practices.
