Sidney Huntington Passes Away at 100 | The Winter Bear Project

“Sidney Huntington was a lot of things to a lot of people, but one thing he was not: He was not a quitter. He never quit on people. He never quit on learning. He never quit on living. At an age when he had every excuse to rest on his laurels, he kept on writing, speaking, reaching out to challenge people, especially young Alaska Native people, to be better, to aim higher, to survive and prosper no matter what.

Sidney Huntington was a great man for who he was and what he accomplished, but most of all he was a great human being who inspired us to use all our faculties and every bit of our time on this earth to let others, especially young people, know that their lives are precious to us.”
–Anne Hanley, The Winter Bear Project Playwright/Producer
