Dimi Macheras

Dimi Macheras is graphic novelist hailing from Alaska.  He is a largely self taught artist, who has produced graphic novels telling native Athabascan stories.  His first three graphic novels, Besiin, Tsaani, and C'eyiige' Hwnax, were stories that were passed down to him from his grandmother, Chickaloon elder, Katie Wade.  The stories are part of the Ya Ne Dah Ah Stories, which will be a twelve part series relating the stories of the tribe. 
Dimi Macheras also teamed up with storyteller Ishmael Hope to create "Strong Man", a traditional Tlinglit hero tale.
