These personal events illustrate her intellectual inspiration in my life and provide insight into the much larger influence of her scholarly work on Native peoples of Alaska. Her productivity and scholarly legacy continue to humble—and challenge—us all.↵Nancy Yaw Davis, 719 N Street, Suite 3 Anchorage, Alaska 99501
