In the next Winter Series event, local author Jan Steinbright and artist Robert Hoffmann (Tlingit) will talk about their second collaboration on the children’s book, Raven House Mouse Goes to Culture Camp, to be released in February. The story takes the famous Raven House Mouse, Kagaak, up the Chilkoot Valley out of Haines to attend Lkoot Kwaan, a Tlingit culture camp founded by Austin Hammond, leader of the Sockeye Clan.
