On Saturday morning, November 20th, my mother and I went to the Juneau City Museum to see Mary Ellen Frank’s public presentation of her Tlingit elder “Cecilia Kunz” doll.\u00a0 The doll was purchased for the City Museum’s permanent collection from a Rasmuson grant.\u00a0 We entered a packed house witnessing a group of dancers from Cecilia’s family members.\u00a0 The following photographs are a few shots taken during the presentation – these dolls are incredible!<\/p>\n
