Diane Benson couldn't help but identify with Elizabeth Peratrovich once she set about writing a play about the Alaska Native activist's historic anti-discrimination testimony in front of the 1945 Territorial Senate. Elizabeth Peratrovich was born on July 4, 1911 in Petersburg, Alaska. Before the Europeans arrived in Alaska, Petersburg was known by its Tlingit name Seet Kah, with fishing traps dating back 3,000 years. Honoring Mike Lopez (1953-2006) from Seet kah (Petersburg Alaska) ... remembering our Seet kah leaders Amy Hallingsted, Annie Cooday, Henry Katasse, Margret Williams, Dick Kito, Gertrude Lyons, and Victor Guthrie. We give thanks to our current leaders who continue on.
