To know Jenny was to know good medicine.

Jenny Irene Miller was the kind of person that people write songs about, the kind of person you create art for, the kind of person people draw burning inspiration from. A true visionary artist, a circle complete.

She was fierce in a calm, quiet and humorous way — an Inupiaq way. Her Inupiaq name Wiagañmiu literally translates to “people of the rocks,” and she was that for so many, a rock.

One time, I was complaining to Jenny about menial day-to-day BS, and she just looked at me and said, “Man…can’t have nothing!” 😂 we just laughed.

I get so devastated that she left us this way, but I keep trying to remind myself that Jenny Irene Miller is everywhere now. Our dear loved ones live on in the crisp Arctic air, the warmth of tuttu fur, the crashing waves where our ancestors lived and passed.

I will hold dearly, fiercely, steadfastly to her spirit and messages she carried with her everyday.

Biggest love to her/their closest loved ones, friends and family. 🖤

We can both acknowledge the true tragedy and history of Thanksgiving AND find our own ways to celebrate and take advantage of the holiday with friends and family at the same time. If you’re angry, thats ok, sometimes it’s even good, but use that anger and put it into something you love and care deeply about. I don’t have the energy to carry so much anger around and I dont like to spread negativity in a tough world we already live in, so I use my energy to provide space for people to tell their own stories and lived experiences to share with a wider audience when I can. Gathering with community and sharing food isn’t inherently a bad practice on its own, so I don’t feel bad to do so for Thanksgiving. Anyway, just sharing my thoughts coming out of my food and family coma ☺️🖤

Coffee & Quaq provides a platform for the generation of Alaska Natives who continue practicing cultural traditions, but also enjoy the modern commodities of the millennial era like Mario Kart, iPhones, and Tang. Coffee & Quaq? It's a great time to be alive.

The mission of Coffee & Quaq is to celebrate, share, and explore the collective experience of contemporary Native life in urban Alaska. Coffee & Quaq aims to incite discussion on topics of interest for young Alaska Native people and bring awareness to the various facets of modern Indigenous life. It's a podcast show for Indigenous people, by Indigenous people to help provide an accurate representation of Alaska Native life in urban and rural settings.

Quaq is the Iñupiaq word for frozen or raw meat or fish and it is also a verb: to eat frozen or raw meat or fish. Coffee to represent our contemporary and woke side and Quaq to examine our topics through an Alaska Native lens.
