Kushxeet yóo x̱at duwasáakw.
My name is Kushxeet, an old Point House name which translates to "Raven the Artist." My English name is Sienna Reid.
I created this website as a place for people to keep up with me, both professionally and socially! My goal is to update it regularly with current information, projects, and stories. Please explore and enjoy.
P.S. I designed and coded the site myself; gunalchéesh for checking it out!
I am Tlingit: X'aaka Hit, Kiks.ádi of Sheet'ká. I was born, raised, and currently reside on my homelands of Sheet'ká Ḵwáan Territory: a temperate rainforest in Southeast Alaska. I am a resource protector, graphic artist, beader, and aspiring carver residing on Lingít Aaní.
By day, I work in the field of Indigenous resource management for the Sitka Tribe of Alaska. I am working to create and implement projects to protect native plants, preserve Tlingit plant knowledge, and enhance customary food, medicine, and material security. I partner with city, state, and federal agencies; as well as local schools and community organizations to support the wellbeing of Sitka Tribal Citizens.
Outside the office I build connection with our lands and waters through harvesting, observation, and the creation of art!
