Training the Next Generation of Naax̱éin Weavers: A Shareholder Story

Shareholder Marion K. Carman recently shared a special story with us about her granddaughters, Isabella Ross and Patricia Dennis, and their opportunity to learn from Chilkat weavers Donedin Jackson and Rae Mills at the Goldbelt Tram.

Last month, a two-year project commissioned by the Goldbelt Tram came to fruition as Haa Shagóoní was brought to life. Roughly 60 witnesses, including shareholders, Tram employees and travelers from around the world, gathered outside the Lower Terminal for the Robe Cutting Ceremony for the Naax̱éin, or ceremonial Chilkat robe.

Weavers Donedin Jackson and Rae Mills cut their Diving Whale Robe from the loom to a Lingít welcome song, marking the culmination of two years of weaving, teaching and sharing culture with those who stopped to watch and learn.

Among those visitors were Marion and her granddaughters. After learning about the project, Marion brought Isabella and Patricia to meet the weavers. They returned several times throughout the summer of 2026, learning not only about Chilkat weaving, but also the language, materials and traditions carried through the practice.

“They were taught a lot in two months,” Marion shared. “The children were able to speak to Donedin in Tlingit. I’m so glad the girls learned how to weave Chilkat Robe and make the weaving materials.”

Marion generously shared her story and photos with us. Her experience is a meaningful example of what can happen when our traditions are practiced, shared and passed from one generation to the next.

Thank you, Marion, for sharing this special moment with us, and to Donedin and Rae for sharing their knowledge with the next generation.
