Quiz No. 60 (Famous People from Alaska)


Molly Hootch a groundbreakers in changing educational opportunities for Alaskan natives who were unable to go to high school without leaving home for nine months of the year prior to 1976. Until that time, none of the villages had school beyond eighth grade. Anna and Molly were students named as plaintiffs in the case that won 126 high schools in native villages across Alaska. Alaskan culture encourages its citizens, both native and non-native, to speak their minds and become activists.

Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich (1911 - 1958) was a Tlingit native leader who fought for equal rights for natives in Alaska. She spoke to the territorial legislature in 1945 in favor of the bill that outlawed discrimination against natives, beginning a new era in race relations in Alaska. Joe Redington, Sr. was the Father of The Last Great Race on Earth, the Iditarod, run by dog sleds and mushers across Alaska every March since 1973. The race was started to commemorate the Serum Run of 1925 when diphtheria serum was rushed by dog sled over the 1000-mile Iditarod trail from Anchorage to Nome to save lives from the disease.

Reddington was a talented musher and race promoter, convincing people to sponsor the event and contribute prize money. He and his wife Vi offered a piece of their own land as a prize in one of the early races. Today people travel from around the world to serve as check-point help, veterinarians, and trail volunteers for the race Joe Reddington, Jr. started. It is a community event for all of Alaska. Alaskan children may be more likely to know Iditarod statistics and mushers than NBA or NFL players. Everyone knows or follows a favorite musher. If you live in Alaska, you understand the conditions the dogs and mushers survive to complete the race. That same determination is part of Alaska's culture.

Libby Riddles (1956 - ) The first woman to win the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1985.
