Gwich’in Writer Lincoln Tritt will read from his work Dec. 5, 2002 at 4 p.m. in the Brooks Gathering Room.

Tritt has been published in a number of anthologies and periodicals including Raven Tells Stories and in Heartland of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. His childhood was spent moving back and forth yearly between Ft. Yukon and Arctic Village. Much of his writing explores Gwichin values and traditions in a contemporary context. He has written "It is my opinion that if anybody wants a thorough education, they should learn more than one society."

The reading is sponsored by the Alaska Native Studies Department and the College of Rural Alaska.
