George Attla Jr. with his wife Shirley and their children, September 1962
Scope and Contents
They were later divorced and I believe Shirley remarried Herbie Vent. George Jr. had already won several major dog races by 1962. Shirley was a daughter of Abraham Oldman of Hughes and is a sister to Eleanor Sam (wife of Wilson).

Slides #15 – 38 are of family groups around Huslia in September of 1962. The young people who were the first group of students to go to high school were getting ready to leave town and we wanted pictures of them with their families so everyone could have a copy of the photos. This was a very traumatic as well as exciting time for the families. Life would never be the same for any of them and they knew it. It was a time of mourning for many parents. I have arranged the families alphabetically as the most useful way to organize them.
