In this video: Were coming into Victoria and what a beautiful day of sunshine. This is our last stop before we head to Seattle to complete the cruise. We stayed on board resting as both of us got sick/cold like symptoms. My mom when she was alive use to love going to the gardens they have here. I always wanted to visit, but will wait until we can come up and stay at a hotel for a couple days and visit without time constraint windows. Plus I want to see carvings/art etc. ttps://www.fredfulmernativeart.com Visit Fred Fulmer's Official Website: https://www.fredfulmertlingitartist.com Follow Fred Fulmer Tlingit Artist on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fredfulmernativeart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fredfulmernativeart TikTok:https//www.tiktok.com/hunakaa_1 fredfulmer #fredfulmernativeartist, #piatribal.org

In this video: I'm setting up for a carving demonstration. The left table has a display of pieces I have carved and brought to show the passengers how my finished work looks like.The right table I have my tools layed out on, and pieces of wood that I'm working on. In the center of the stage I have my adzing block I made specifically for when I need to be mobile. This is a noce area on the Norwegian Bliss. The space is large enough to host a lot of their events. Mine being one of them. My dream is to be on a cruise ship that has space that can be dedicated for me to rope off and carve a 7 ft Tlingit Totem pole throuh the Alaska tourist season. Example carve 3 weeks on the ship and 1 week off. That way guests will be able to see a Tlingit Totem pole in progress. Going into different ports along SE Akaska there is only so much time to go and take the experience all in. ttps://www.fredfulmernativeart.com Visit Fred Fulmer's Official Website: https://www.fredfulmertlingitartist.com Follow Fred Fulmer Tlingit Artist on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fredfulmernativeart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fredfulmernativeart TikTok:https//www.tiktok.com/hunakaa_1 fredfulmer #fredfulmernativeartist, #piatribal.org

In this video: I'm back in Washington on I-5 heading home. I just spent the last 4 months up in Glacier Bay, going on Holland America and American Cruise Line as a Tlingit Cultural Heritage Guide representing Xuna Tlingits in our Ancestral homeland with ANV- Alaska Native Voices. Seeing all the traffic and smelling the more polluted air was coming back to reality. The population of Gustavus is approx. 500-600 people. In the shadow of Glacier Bay and part of the Tongass National rain forrest. Basically the air was cleaner and my lungs knew the difference. But all in all it's good to be back home sleeping in my own bed, eating the foods I prefer....organic. Best of all back home with my wife! I had a sucessful season in Glacier Bay as a Tlingit Cultural Heritage Guide with Akaska Native Voices. Now to prepare for 2025 season. Hmm looking forward to the options to choose from, for sure!!!

In this video: I got into Juneau 6 days ago from Gustavus. I returned my rented vehiicle and checked my bags in. Now waiting for my son to come by and have some coffee at the airport before I board. Good ole Juneau. Almost felt like I never left. One of the things I like about Juneau is the size of their airport. There's something to be said about smaller airports. Easier to navigate, not like SeaTac!!! Travelling like most of you know is an endurance test, not fun for most. But is the necessary part of flying to destinations. Glad I didn't have to fly a lot this season.

In this video: I stopped by to take some pictures and video of the 25 ft Tlingit Raven Totem pole I helped carve. This Tlingit Totem pole stands in front of this grade school on Douglas Island in Juneau area. It was nice to see some clear sunny skies for this visit. I got to stop by and see the pole back in April when I came to Juneau for 4 day training program for my summer season job. The Totem is "showing a little wear" A fresh paint job could go a long ways. But it still reads well! A saying those of us who carved it say when looking at it standing up, { meaning Looks Good}.

In this video: I'm on one of the smaller more intimate cruise ships. ACL American Cruise Line carrying 163 passengers. Being on a smaller cruise ship allows the ship to go into areas of Glacier Bay that the big Ships can't go. Here at South Marble island the Constellation ACL ship is able to circle the island. This island is a very importand landmark for the Xuna Tlingits. This is where we would harvest Seagull eggs since time immemorial. The Xuna's would gather these eggs in May of each year, which represented the end of a long winter season and marked the beginning of Harvesting time. The Seagull eggs were an important part of the Xuna Tlingit diet. My mom would share memories of gathering eggs here at South Marble island. This was a training ground for the younger generation to learn how to gather the eggs. My mom talked about it was her job to scale the island since it was easier than the areas that were cliffs. She was 12 years old then. Those that were 8-12 yrs old would learn how to gather the eggs. There is a method to gathering. When Glacier Bay became a Federal park. Harvesting of eggs came to a stop. Due to the migratory bird ACT. My Uncle told me that "we have to poach our eggs twice now, before we can eat them".

In this video: As we make our way into the 65 miles of waterway of Glacier Bay. All the cruise ships slow down as we come up too Janwu Aani or Gloomy Knob, this is where the Xuna Tlingits would come to harvest Moutain goats since time immemorial. This is an important landmark for the Xuna's. As we approach Janwu Aani, I would go with the ranger to the Bridge where the Captain and the Mates would drive the ship. Janwu Aani would be on our starbard side or the right side of the ship. On many of the ships the crew on the bridge, along with the ranger and myself would be looking through binoculars and as we spotted mountain goats we would point them out on the PA system so the passengers can see them as well. This is where the Mountain Goats live, they are protected from their predators the Brown Bear here. As we approach Janwu Aani I woud get on the PA and share a couple of paragraghs in my Tlingit language describing the importance of this area is to the Xuna's and how we would use the Mountain Goats meat, fur, horns etc., then I would translate it into English. You can see a couple of Mountain Goats in this video. Sometimes we would see 11-12, sometimes 3-4, 1 or 2 , and sometimnes none. Sometimes the fog would be thck and the visibility was nill. So if we were able to spot some Goats, it was a Good day!
