Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

Terzah and I, February 2012, AnchorageHere is a photo of my good friend/mentor, Terzah, and I at my work. She is wearing an ever cool, sheer kuspuk made by Yup’ik artist, Letha Simon. Terzah and I have worked with each other in different lives. Alaska Native non-profit, private sector and she’s been a strong advocate for me in various times of my life. You’re the best. As you always say, Cheers!
