Morgan Howard (X’agatkeen) is a Tlingit writer, storyteller, filmmaker, and communications professional from Yakutat, Alaska. He is Eagle moiety, Teikweídi clan, of the Drum House. His great-grandfather, Olaf Abraham, was the last recognized hereditary chief of the Aantlein River Teikweídi. Morgan was raised between Yakutat and Kodiak, Alaska, where his family spent summers commercial fishing aboard the F/V Cornelia Marie. He began working on deck at age 11 and continued fishing through college, helping pay his tuition with what he earned on the water. Those years at sea, surrounded by family, hard work, and the landscapes of coastal Alaska, deeply shaped his understanding of story, community, and identity. His path to writing began in journalism and television. Morgan worked as a producer, writer, cameraman, and reporter, covering Native communities throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for Northwest Indian News. He later founded Morgan Howard Productions, a communications and storytelling company that has worked with tribes, Native organizations, and Alaska Native corporations across the region. His essays on Alaska Native corporations, Indigenous identity, and contemporary Native issues have appeared in the Anchorage Daily News. A shareholder of both Sealaska and Yak-tat Kwaan, Morgan has spent much of his professional life working at the intersection of Indigenous advocacy, communications, and community development. His leadership experience includes service with Native organizations and tribal institutions focused on strengthening Native communities and preserving cultural traditions. As a writer, Morgan is drawn to stories about family, place, leadership, belonging, and the tensions between tradition and modernity. His work is influenced by Tlingit history, oral tradition, and the lived experiences of Indigenous people navigating contemporary life. He is particularly interested in stories that challenge stereotypes and portray Native people as complex, fully realized human beings. Morgan holds degrees in film production and broadcast production and lives in the Seattle area. Through screenwriting and storytelling, he hopes to contribute to a growing movement of Native creators telling their own stories in their own voices.
