Our ancestors are of Alutiiq/Sugpiaq Alaska Native ancestry and of Estonian/Russian heritage. My grandmother spoke Russian, Alutiiq and English. My ancestors endured two waves of European colonization and suffered the near extinction of their language and culture. I am a product of this colonization, Alutiiq, Russian and North American. - Linda Infante Lyons
