Tele Aadsen

Tele Aadsen is a commercial fisherman, writer, and lapsed social worker. Born in Alaska, she finds home in seasonal migrations: ocean summers on the outer coast of Lingít Aaní, Southeast Alaska, aboard the F/V Nerka with her partner Joel, followed by land winters in the Coast Salish territory of Washington's Skagit Valley. She self-markets their frozen-at-sea catch through Nerka Sea Frozen Salmon and performs annually with Oregon's FisherPoets Gathering. Her name is pronounced "Tell- ah."
