She was born and raised on Haida Gwaii and is from the Yaguu’laanaas Raven Clan. Her Haida name, Ḵung Jaadee, was presented to her at her great uncle’s memorial feast by her cousin, Crystal Robinson, and means “Moon Woman.” Her Aunt Leialoha gave her the name, Hi’ilawe, in reference to the most famous Hawaiian waterfall on the Big Island.
