Kyani On The Central Coast

Kyäni means "Strong Medicine" in Tlingit.


While in Alaska, Dick and Gayle Powell met a researcher who was studying the Alaskan Tlingit (Klink-it) tribe. The researcher was fascinated with the health of the tribe and noted that they had no words for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other common diseases in their vocabulary. The tribe routinely consumed the Wild Alaskan Blueberry as well as Sockeye Salmon. Research has since shown that these two foods represent some of the best nutritional value found anywhere.

The Powells shared their story with the Hansens and Taylors and with it Kyäni was born. Kyäni means "Strong Medicine" in Tlingit. Today Kyäni represents a health and wellness lifestyle for people all around the world.
