This paper describes the other side of Freddy, as an adopted clan member who was fascinated with Tlingit music. In the dedication to the song, she acknowledged Olaf Abraham (Elaine’s father) from whom she learned methods of composing Tlingit songs. With the help of John Ellis, a Gineix Kwaan/Kwaashk’i Kaagwaantaan man, Freddy composed this song in honor of the Yakutat people.↵Chew Shaa (Elaine Abraham) and Judith Ramos P. O.
