In the News today...

Yay, we made it into the Arctic Sounder.

"Sisualik may see the biggest population boom since its heyday this summer. Descendants of Ruth and Yiyuk Harris are planning a family reunion on the spot Aug. 6-7 and hoping their more than 300 cousins show up."

Read the full story HERE.

Hopefully, I'll have a chance to talk to some of the eldest "cousins" about their lives with Aaka and Aapa at Sisualik, like Lena Hanna, Taiyaaq Biesmeier, Grover Harris and Herbert Foster. What stories they must have about growing up with them.

Grover Harris Sr, and Aaka Ruth Harris.

Then we can write a family history book for everyone to see. The family tree is almost complete. I am missing only a very few grandchildren's families. Please check the Facebook page under the discussion site to make sure your family is listed. We don't want to leave anyone out!

If you have photos of your parents, grandparents or Aaka and Aapa you wish to share, please email Gia Hanna at ghanna3@gmail.com and she will put together a photo book for everyone.

Taikuu!
