Southeast Alaska LGBTQ+ Alliance
Providing a supportive network for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people in Southeast Alaska.
We are proud to present the official Juneau Pride 2022 Logo made by the winner Chloey Cavanaugh!
A bit about Chloey:
Chloey is an LGBTQ+ indigenous artist - a child of the Was’ineidi Tax’Hit, Eagle Wolf clan in Kake, Alaska and credits her commitment to community and culture from her grandfather Archie Cavanaugh. Born and raised in Southeast, Chloey believes that the panhandle of Alaska is more than the enchanting beauty it beholds, but a teacher, a way of life, and a distinct part of her Tlingit identity passed down from generation to generation.
Utilizing her Bachelors in communications and integrated marketing, Chloey works with small businesses in the Pacific Northwest through website design, graphic branding, and strategic marketing. As a LGBTQ+ woman, Chloey takes pride in dedicating her spare time to various activism groups, exemplified by her seat on the Seattle Pride Board of Directors.
Chloey believes that Indigenous voices belong at the heart of environmental justice and seeks to use her traditional Tlingit values to guide her.
About the design:
When creating this design, I thought a lot about what it means to be on this land - the Áak'w Ḵwáan Territory, our people, and who we are as a community - the hand represents our community. The eye within the hand represents our community seeing each other. When we see each other and uplift one another, we have succeeded as a community. This design is a gift to my community, a thank you to my people and the LGBTQ+ indigenous community for uplifting me, honoring those we have lost along the way, and love and compassion sent to the family of those lost.
