Jan Steinbright, writing tutor, is a writer, artist, oral historian and lecturer. Her most recently published work is entitled Qayaqs and Canoes: Native Ways of Knowing. Published by the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage, the book is an oral account of eight Alaska Native boat builders and their apprentices as they recapture ancient technologies while constructing five skin-covered boats, one dugout canoe and two birch bark canoes in a summer theme project held at the Center last year.
Jan is also the editor/author of My Own Trail, an oral biography of Athabascan elder, Howard Luke of Fairbanks. Jan has lived in Alaska 23 years, fifteen of which were spent in Fairbanks. She and her husband, Paul Jackson, a Tlingit tradition bearer, currently reside in Sitka aboard a 98-foot tugboat which they call home.

Emily, who has a Master of Arts in English, has been teaching or tutoring in one form or another for the past six years. Literature, grammar, and communications are her specialty.

Emily's interests don't stop at "reading and writing" however. She has also coached basketball and she performs special music at her church.
