Carol Duis ANS Grand Secretary

ANS GRAND SECRETARY (2012-2019)

My husband Bob and I moved to Haines in 2006.  We soon

joined ANB and ANS and were happily introduced to and

involved in the Native community.  He was adopted by

Barbara Lewis’ family as a Raven Woodworm; I was adopted

by Sue Foletti and sisters as an Eagle Kaagwaantaan (also Yanwashaa).  Sue worked with Evelyn Hotch, my mentor, to

create my name “Woman who serves others”.  I work hard to deserve that title as a volunteer for Hospice, library, Camp 5

ANS (Treasurer), medical escort, and recycling center and

am also a Cornerstone Home Health Care worker.  In the

summer I volunteer at the cruise ship dock, where I point

out the Native dance costumes and love to brag about

Elizabeth Peratrovich, since Alaska beat the lower 48 by

19 years in passing an anti-discrimination act.
