Huteson worked at SHI as an ethno-historical-archivist in their archives department. There, he sorted, re-housed and organized documents, which were added to a larger set and transferred to a PDF format, which will be open to the public online. Huteson thoroughly enjoyed his experience at SHI. “Never before have I had a job that allowed me to peer into the Alaskan Native history through various documents which are made available with the sole purpose of educating all who read it. My job allows me to learn and that gives me job satisfaction!” Huteson was also quite impressed by the Corporation. “For the longest time I thought Sealaska and Sealaska Heritage Institute were ran by hundreds of employees because it is such a successful Corporation; instead, they are run by a few incredibly intelligent, ambitious and compassionate people who care deeply about what they are trying to accomplish, and are very skilled at achieving their objectives.” Huteson was born in Ketchikan and is the son of John Huteson and Alicia Foss. His maternal grandparents are Roberta Foss from Klawock and Scott Foss from California. His paternal grandparents are Georgian Peratovich from Klawock and Jerry Huteson from Craig. Huteson is 52 percent Alaska Native and 48 percent European, a mix of Tlingit, Haida, Norwegian-Dutch and Russian. His Tlingit name is Saxy, which was given to him by his great grandmother, Alicia Roberts. His Haida name, Skujuce, was given to him by his grandfather, Jerry Huteson. Huteson is a raven of the Gaanax.adi Clan and belongs to the Kux Hit, which is the martin house of Klawock. He is a senior at the University of Alaska-Southeast Juneau campus where he studies anthropology, sociology and psychology. After he receives his degree, Huteson plans to work at SHI as an anthropologist and do field work.
