Description:
Yake'i ixw saleen! (It is good to see you!) I'm Northwest Coast Native American Barbie doll from Alaska, land of the last frontier. My people live in the Northwest Coast and panhandle area of Southeast Alaska. Is it called the panhandle area because it looks like the handle of a frying pan. I am wearing our beautiful ceremonial dress with a Chikat Robe, traditionally woven from cedar bark and mountain goat hair. Now, I'm ready for the Winter Ceremonials, where we sing and dance, feeling close to the spirits of nature, as our ancestors did. Please come to visit Alaska soon! Tsu yei ixwa saleen (I'll see you again!)
