It begins with gathering traditional foods and creating regalia (Chilkat robes, button blankets, headdresses, masks, and other adornments) for the potlatch.  The potlatch is known for Tlingit oratory with speeches, songs, and storytelling.   *** This video is poet, Donna Beaver’s Tlingit oratory through haiku and other short poems honoring artist, friend, and Chilkat weaver, Clarissa Rizal who joined our Alaska Native ancestors in December 2016.  *** Official Haiku Chronicles Website: www.haikuchronicles.com      Wed, 30 Aug 2017 18:31:18 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/haikuchronicles/E38_Raven.mp4?dest-id=200257 http://traffic.libsyn.com/haikuchronicles/E36_HCminiku_CarlosColon__iTunes.mp4?dest-id=200257 In memoriam of poet Carlos Colón (1958-2016) from our Haiku Chronicles “MINI KU” series, “Celebrating Poets on the Road.” Donna and Al share mini poems and mini poetry readings on the road with their Mini Cooper.
