Alaskan Athabaskan leader dies from cancer

[James Crippen]

Although not directly related to linguistics, I felt I should forward
this story. Buddy Brown, a former president of the Tanana Chiefs
Conference, died on Tuesday from cancer. He was from Huslia, where
Koyukon is spoken. Those of you who've worked in the area may wish to
send condolences.

On a tangential but more linguistically related note, here's an
article about Koyukon, Eliza Jones, and Jules Jette.
