November is Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month, and it’s being observed with lectures, exhibits and events around town, and in the Capital City Weekly.<\/p>\n
There will be an Alaska Native word with a definition from the month long 10 Tlingit Words to Know and Use exhibit at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum in the Capital City Weekly. You can hear how the word is pronounced online on the Juneau Empire’s website courtesy of Sealaska Heritage Institute.<\/p>\n
This week’s word is s’áxt’, which means devil’s club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
