Elizabeth Keating - Alaska Native Rights Advocate

Tara Sutphen will interview Elizabeth Keating, she is an Athabascan Indian from Holikachuk, Alaska (now Grayling). She was raised by her grandparents, Chief and Lizzie Alexie. Elizabeth grew up speaking primarily Athabascan language because her grandparents did not speak English. Her grandparents were leaders and healers in the village so Elizabeth learned firsthand the cultural beliefs and practices from them. She works for the Disability Law Center of Alaska as a legal rights advocate. She is currently involved in projects to revive healthy cultural ways to restore Native health and social balance. Elizabeth along with Tara and a committed group of Elders are a part of a Non-profit Corporation called "Awakening Spiritual Unity", the mission of the organization is to help re-establish wellness, wholeness and dignity in mind, body and spirit. We are all related. The healing of one promotes the healing of all. Call in your questions: 877-230-3062 www.ctrnetwork.com
