Scout Battallion Sergeant
Is All-Rounder; Pride of
Nunivak Island Village t
Probably the busiest Eskimo in
Alaska, at least the one who wears
the most “hats” is M/Sgt. Howard
Slwooko from Nunivak Island in
the Bering Sea.
A member of the 2nd Scout
Battalion, Alaska National Guard,
Slwooko is currently attending
the battallion’s annual two-week
encampment at Camp Denali, Fort
Richardson, Alaska.
In addition to being noncom
missioned officer-in-charge of a
village National Guard unit, he
is a missionary, welfare agent for
the territory, Selective Service
Board member, marriage commis
sioner (a justice of the peace per
forming marriages), hunter, trap
per, commercial fisherman and
mechanic.
He travels by dog sled over the
island during the winter months
and visits the coastal villages by
skin-boat during the summer. Dur
ing the tours he holds National
Guard drills in village school
houses.
An expert huhter and fisher
man, he shot his first polar bear
at 14. He uses his skills to supply
his family with most of their food
and clothing.
The federal government owns
timber that would pay for Alaska
400 times if it were brought into
use.
