Kung Jaadee (Roberta Kennedy) is a traditional Haida storyteller, singer, drummer, teacher, and children's book author from the village of Old Massett, Haida Gwaii in Northern British Columbia, Canada.
Following Haida tradition, she passed the name Kwii-Ge-Ii-Ones (Big Loved Cloud) on to her daughter and the name Kung Jaadee (Woman in the Moon or Moon Woman) was given to her at her great uncle's memorial feast by her cousin.[1]
