If you have the capacity to donate before end of year, do consider this organization. Perhaps $5.00 or $50 in honor of its 50th?

Dr @hollyguise.bsky.social has written a powerful book on the history of Alaska, Native internment and resilience, and World War II. Along the way, she centers Native voices through archival research & oral history. It made me feel deeply, which is why I will return to it time and time again.
