We at Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) are saddened to learn of the passing of Nick Alexia Sr. of Nikolai.
Nick previously served on the TCC Executive Board of directors for many years as the Upper Kuskokwim representative and had previously served as First Chief of Nikolai. We are grateful for his leadership, guidance, and dedication to our people and communities. His voice and commitment helped shape the work we continue today, and he will be greatly missed.
Many years ago, Nick sat down with us to share his life story as part of our Legacy of Our Elders series. If you have time today, we encourage you to take a moment to watch his video and learn about his incredible legacy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3An7NK7TBI
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the community of Nikolai during this difficult time.
