Lá Fhéile Pádraig Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Today, the Irish culture gets celebrated all over the world. Here we see a door inside the carving shed at Hydaburg, Alaska--a celebration of the Haida (Xaadas) culture. The carvers have taped examples of the Haida language, Xaad kil, on this door--and all around the building--to help them keep their endangered Native language alive.
