Being a Tsimshian descending from Metlakatla, Alaska, it was incredibly meaningful to me to cover Colin Ryan-Gamble and the Metlakatla, B.C. Spartans as they played in the All Native Basketball Tournament in Prince Rupert, B.C. Such an amazing experience!

Tsimshian Nation Carver & Toolmaker Eli Milton began searching for a career that was the perfect fit. A fisherman. A teacher. He never gave up looking. For 35 years now he is a toolmaker, and he found his place. Toolmaking is my niche because I get to share what I have learned and work with artists young and old.
