KHNS is honored to broadcast in Lingít Aaní. Our studios sit on the ancestral land of the L’koot Kwaan. Gunalchéesh to their elders, past and present.

As part of our effort to uplift the Native voices in our communities, we are working with Chilkoot Indian Association to bring the Art, History and Language of the Lingít (Tlingit) people to listeners near and far.

We recognize the importance of preserving the culture of the indigenous people in Alaska, and hope that you can join our effort. Part of that effort is to normalize and familiarize the use of Lingít words and spelling, thus the use of Lingít instead of Tlingit. This quote from our colleague Jennifer Pemberton at KTOO says it best: “We use Lingít words to convey respect for the people whose homelands we live and work on. Using Lingít and trying our best to pronounce Lingít words accurately is one of the ways we are trying to lift up the voices of people who have been underrepresented on our airwaves.”

So please, take a listen to “L’Koot Yei Jineiyi” and some of the work that is being done to share the rich history, art, language and culture across Lingít Aaní (land of the Lingít)
