Laine Rinehart’s Biography: “Neech Yaanagut Yéil yoo xhát duwasáak. Yéil áyá xhát.Teeyhítaan naax xhát site. Kagwaantan yádi áyá xhát. Laine Rinehart’s Tlingit name is Neech Yannagut Yéil, he is of the Teeyhítan clan from Wrangell, Alaska. He is also a child of the Kagwaantan through his father’s side and maternally descends from Taos Pueblo on his mother’s side. In the summer of 2010 he began weaving in Kay Parker’s Ravens Tail class and has since gone on to work with Lily Hope and her mother Clarissa Rizal. He is immensely grateful for being allowed to participate in a way of being that would generally be unavailable to men and strives to honor the practices and traditions of Chilkat weaving through the use of materials such as mountain goat hair (jaanwu) as well as yellow cedar bark to craft his weaving style.
