As human beings we lost a truly outspoken lady with only good in her heart. Like Katie John, she went to bat for her people all over our state, no matter who. Like Katie John she had no support from the men, the Alaska Native leaders, the silent ones who are content to rake in their triple digit $thousands they make each year and wear their fancy 3 piece suits to represent their people.
Those fancy Natives who rake it in, but do nothing on behalf of their people, should realize that the day is coming when many will be asking them if they are truly, infected with the Stockholm Syndrome, since they are content with giving away what little their people have after centuries of colonial theft and genocide.
