I feel privileged to be one of the first people she told that the Smithsonian had invited her to the opening ceremonies for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. If you visit the room there that features information on the Yup’ik — who are an Alaska Native people — you can see her pictured in full regalia and read a short statement about her life.Copyright The Nation’s Health, American Public Health Association</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
