Sealaska provides several benefits to shareholders through dividends, jobs, contributions to cultural and educational scholarships, and investments in youth with advisory positions and intern programs. I was elected to the Sealaska Board in 2021 by asking for your help throughout Alaska and Washington. I’m asking again for your confidence to continue serving shareholders by sharing my voice, independent thinking, and preparedness for meetings and asking pertinent questions (a quality you can count on).

I believe in Sealaska and our shareholders. I believe in the power of our culture to heal. I believe in promoting our Native values by teaching our culture. I believe that Sealaska needs to continue building assets with our land, companies, and people. With these strengths, we can build a better future for our elders and youth.

I listened to my grandmother, the late Vesta Johnson (Hydaburg), when she spoke of culture, spoke our Native language, told us to have respect for each other and nature, and subsistence/ preservation of Native food that fills our souls. I listened when she said, “Never speak of yourself. Be humble. If you are doing good things, people will speak well of you”.

Please vote and I would appreciate your vote.
