History, Helping Hands & Halloween

Halloween morning opened with two powerful Alaska history calls—a rebuttal to “SNAP enabling” framed with dates from Russian, Spanish, and U.S. incursions, and an elder’s Tlingit perspective on clan names, migrations, and artifacts—plus a listener request to make Indigenous-history segments a regular feature. Rose updated efforts to airlift clothes to Mikey in Haines via Alaska Seaplanes (coordinating with Yvonne); Mikey called in grieving a family loss and asked for prayers and light work (house/dog-sitting) as he continues treatment (907-500-2611). Community notes included a Telephone Hill documentary night at the Alaskan Bar—Fri, Nov 7, ~6pm (during First Friday/Art Walk)—and safety reminders for a dark, windy trick-or-treat. Quick classifieds: movies/CDs & wheelchair (957-1673), 3 kittens (419-8420), and bus tokens for sale from a caller hit by the shutdown (500-7369). Listeners also shouted out JAR adoptions, Rotary polio work, and a challenge for deep-pocketed donors to step up at home.
