Neilga Koogéi Taija Revels says this latest loss of important family heirlooms reminds her of the trauma her family has endured for generations. She hopes someone will recognize the regalia and come forward to Juneau police if they know anything.
Neilga Koogéi Taija Revels’ grandmother started making regalia in Hoonah in the 60s. Back then, all she had to work with was acrylic paint from school and polyester fabric from the five and dime.
Revels calls that period “a kind of renaissance” — and she says her grandmother’s work is an important piece of Hoonah’s history. Now she’s searching for it, in pawn shops and online, after someone broke into her Juneau home while she was out of town.Her family is offering a large reward, with no questions asked.
“We have so little from her. We lost so many of her possessions when she died because her house got ransacked during her funeral, and the Hoonah fire happened,” Revels said. The thieves took a lot of other things, too: gold beads, otter pelts and moccasin tops that her great-grandmother beaded in the 1940s. Also expensive things, like her PlayStationS5 and her trademark MAC lipstick.
