Joel Jackson, President of the Organized Village of Kake holds up up a couple carved wooden paddles, which were among the objects a group of quakers returned to Kake in August.
“I wanted to carry them on board, because I wanted to be careful,” said Downs. “But TSA said, ‘Oh, no, you’re going to have to go back and check them, because they could be used as a weapon. You know, you could whack somebody with them!’ ‘Yeah, okay, whatever…’” Juulie Downs returning objects to Kake residents at the Dog Salmon Festival in August. Joel Jackson is the president of Kake’s tribe, the Organized Village of Kake. He said the gesture meant a great deal to the community. But, that Kake is still recovering from colonization. He said many of the community’s elders, who went to the quaker day school, don’t like to talk about their experiences there.
“It it just struck me … still not connecting it to Nana at that point,” Downs said. “But just realizing that we, as white people, have often not really understood other people’s religions.”
