About Kavelina
I am Alaska Native and an Alaskan Native - which is to say, I am indigenous to its lands and I was born and raised in Alaska. Yes, I did live in a one-room cabin. Yes, I have met quite a few moose and bears. Yes, I did meet Taika Waititi - he is lovely. Yes, I am a fellow from Sundance.
I have directed over two dozen film, television, and theatre plays and written well over 30 pieces of entertainment. From evening plays, film and theatre shorts, and quite a few features and television scripts. Indigenous comedy? I got you covered! Indigenous action - got it! Sci-fi? Got that too! Post-apocalyptic? That, too!
I am a writer of action, adventure, sci-fi/fantasy and combinations thereof. Each piece is embedded with the languages and cultures of the Arctic. Most feature language, culture, and snow in some way.


Patterns define us.
In what we see
In what we hear
in what we see here
Patterns change us
our inner world
our outer world
our hidden world
Patterns imbue us
with pain and happiness
with action and inaction
with love and learning
