I’ve been involved in Sealaska from its beginning, and I enjoy meeting with shareholders to discuss Sealaska’s business and progress. I was involved in the opening of enrollment to shareholder descendants and securing steady shareholder distributions. I live in my birthplace of Kake, Alaska with my wife, where we raised five children. I am highly aware of the challenges faced by shareholders in our communities, to keep our homes heated and to send our children to quality schools. Sealaska and the Sealaska Heritage Institute do tremendous work to uphold our culture, and to develop and support our local economies, I am proud to be part of that work. I have participated in meetings in Alaska and Washington D.C. for Sealaska to receive its final acres owed to it by the federal government under ANCSA. The issues that divide us should be small compared to the issues that unite us as one people, such as ownership of our homelands, subsistence rights, and protecting our culture. These are high priorities for me. I am proud to be Tlingit and am proud to serve you. I’d appreciate your vote.
