Evelynn was born in Healy Lake, Alaska, and represents the Mendas Cha'ag, Naltsiin Athabascan. She has served six years on her elected council and recently resigned as chief to become the tribe's Tribal Administrator. The last eight years has consisted of frequent travel to delegate for her tribe at various conferences; namely the Bureau of Indian Affairs providers conference, TCC special convention, and most recently for a cultural committee serving to help build the Tok Native Clinic.
Evelynn has dedicated her young adult and adult life to serving her community, serving on her tribal council and holding employment positions in community aid capacities. Accustomed to overseeing many projects at once while sticking to a routine in the tribal office, she shared that she’s looking forward to any regional efforts she can help with and we look forward to consulting with her and the rest of the Indigenous Advisory Council.
