A
native Athabaskan Eyak of the Eagle Clan from the Copper River Delta
of Alaska, he was a commercial fisherman in Prince William Sound until
March 24, 1989 when the Exxon Valdez spilled more than 11 million
gallons of oil into the Sound. On that day, he became an activist
and social entrepreneur, dedicating his life to protection of human
rights and the environment. For his work, he was selected by Time
magazine as one of its "Heroes of the Planet." He is a co-founder
and member of the RED OIL Network (Resisting Environmental Degradation
of Indigenous Lands), a member of the Eyak Traditional Elders Council,
founder of the Eyak Preservation Council, and founder of the Native
Conservancy Land Trust. He speaks on a variety of topics, including
indigenous rights, activism, why conservation based economies are
the future, and the lessons and unresolved long-term impacts of the
Exxon Valdez disaster.
