Kun Jaad Dana Simeon: My name is Kun Jaad. My mother is Jut-ke-Nay Hazel Wilson. My grandmother is Grace Bell Wilson DeWitt. I am full-blooded Háada Láas of Haida Gwaii. I am a descendant of St'langng Laanaas, from the house of Sgaann 7iw7waans. My mother, Jut-ke-nay, was my teacher to make Haida robes. Every robe I created, I asked her to review. She was critical. Honest. The day she went home she gave me her final blessing, told me that she taught me everything she knew.
