"It was funny and made me have hope to save someone’s life.”

Liana Charley JohnLiana Charley JohnExecutive Director / Ahtna Heritage Foundation

“I am always looking for ways to use the rich heritage of our elders to help our youth. The story of this play opened up the discussion of some issues that are very hard to address and gave people permission to talk about them. In that way, I think it brought our youth and elders together and will have an impact.”
