My Tlingit name is Saat-Kaa and my english name is Fred Fulmer. I have been coming up to Siteeyi Gheeyi/Glacier Bay Alaska for 3 seasons 2024 -2026 now from May through September working for ANV- Alaska Native Voices Educational Institute as a Tlingit Cultural Interpreter representing the Xuna/Hoonah Tlingits. This 2026 season in particular when I go onto the Holland American Cruise ship: Zaandam, Koningsdam, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam I meet educators up in the Crows Nest. This is where the National Parks Rangers and I set up our displays in the morning after we board the cruise ships. The Cruise ships don't stop in the bay to pick us up. No we get on a catamaram the SERAC. I call it our Uber since it's main purpose is too take the Rangers, Alaska Geographic and me ANV representaitive to and from these ships daily.
Fred Fulmers Display On The Holland America Ships Season 2026 Alaska Native Voices
The picture is of how my display looks like through my season this year. I also set this display on the ACL American Cruise Line Ships the Constitution and Constellation as well. I enjoy setting up this display and show the passengers what my Tlingit Culture is and how it relates to Siteeyi Gheeyi/Glacier Bay.
Now I realized this year that the company organization that I have been working for the last 3 seaons 2024-2026 isn't just ANV Alaska Native Voices, No Sir, this year i found out that the non-profit name is actually Alaska Native Voices Educational Institute and I am a Tlingit Cultural Interpreter.
Now when I go on all the Holland America Ships and the ACL American Cruise Line Ships I let them know thr full name of who I work for. So as I talk to passengers and find out that they're Educators- Teachers from all grades and in differen't Countries too. When were on the Bow of these ships. I ask them to take out their cell phones and record me.
