My name’s Ed Kunz, Jr. I’m Raven Coho. Sei Taan is my ceremonial name. I am from the Outward’s House which is a standing clan house over in Sitka. I’m a grandchild of the Dog Salmon and a child of the Kaagwaantaan.

"When I was young my mother and my older sister used to work in the cannery [in Hawk Inlet] and my dad was on a seine boat. I took care of my two younger sisters while my mother and older sister were working. That’s where I learned to cook.”
