Susie Lee Edwardson curated a great list of Alaska Native and Native American vloggers (video bloggers), gamers and others. She graciously allowed me to share it on the Athabascan Woman Blog.

QuickSplit is more fun than a barrel of monkeys August 31, 2016

By the time other people reach their Third Thirds in Alaska, they often have a cabin. By the time I’ve reached my Third Third, I have friends with cabins. Boy, am I lucky!
Why QuickSplit is more fun than a barrel of monkeys:

Fishing on the Koyukuk River August 27, 2016

My relatives from Huslia, Vivian Henry and Shandara Swatling, shared their stories of net fishing along the Koyukuk River. They have generously agreed to share their stories and a few pictures on the Athabascan Woman Blog.

 

 

Anatomy of a Sleepless Night

When I discovered the Big Three recommendations for a good Third Third (structure, purpose, and a sense of community), I knew my most obvious challenge was probably going to be sleeping. Or rather, sleeping on a regular basis on a regular schedule for a regular number of hours. Or, to be more accurate, sleeping. Period.

Jahna Lindemuth, 46, will be the state’s second female attorney general. August 24, 2016

Lindemuth’s first day as Alaska attorney general — the job pays $138,000 a year — was Aug. 8. She only had to move down the hall from her old partner-in-charge office at Dorsey and Whitney to her new digs with the Alaska Department of Law on the sixth floor of the Brady Building in downtown Anchorage.

In addition to her private work, Lindemuth is known for providing free legal work to people who need help. She played a key role in the Fairbanks Four case that ended in December, helping to challenge the convictions of four men for a 1997 murder they said someone else committed.

Lindemuth will face a confirmation decision by the Legislature this spring.

Alex DeMarban, Nathaniel Herz: Jahna Lindemuth, 46, will be the state’s second female attorney general.

Our Third Thirds: Mia August 24, 2016

“I came from a business where you’re in a fight all the time, and it’s a physical team thing. I didn’t find that in the normal day-to-day life. Then I saw that being a Soldier would keep me hands-on, active and keep me in that team environment that I craved and needed so much.

Profiles in Third Thirds: Mia

Jenny Alowa, 25 years of teaching at McLaughlin Youth Center August 23, 2016

She said, “I look at them and say, ‘What can you do for me? Show me what you can do.’ They use labels, because they’ve been labeled so many times. ‘I’m ADD. I’m special ed.’ I said, ‘Nope, you’re not a special ed when you’re in this class.’ They’ve learned to label themselves because society has labeled them. They’re embedded in it. And then they’d say, ‘I can do this?'”

She saw some students go on to success in life. And others she cried over, when she saw them on the evening news having committed terrible crimes a adults.
