Annie's Story

Annie has one of the most challenging positions in Alaska. Annie is a Tribal Administrator.

Annie works for the tribe in her village. Annie began working for her tribe 10 years ago after she graduated from high school. She started as a receptionist and enrollment clerk and helped with payroll. One year ago, Annie became the Tribal Administrator and soon discovered how much work needed to be done. Her new position takes the majority of her time.
