Huslia Potlatch & Raven's Witness

I just finished reading Hank Lentfer's memoir of Richard K. Nelson titled Raven's Witness. 

Richard lived for a while in Huslia, a town in Alaska. And lo & behold, here came a video from Angela Gonzalez about their recent potlatch. How's that for cosmic!

Richard Nelson was a Michigan lad who loved being outside. Through a series of happenings facilitated by a college professor, he was able to be outside a lot! 

Hank Lentfer, a close friend of Richard, brings him to life in a way rarely seen on the written page. Richard died in 2019 of cancer at age 78.

    Have you read On the Edge of Nowhere by Laurence Elliot? It is told to him by Jim Huntington. Jim was the man who built the first cabin Huslia.
