Ashlyn Crow

Elora and Ashlyn Crow are two of our best helpers and dearest of friends we have anywhere. These two children have been so eager to help water the gardens, also willing to help with anything we would have a need for. Over the years we've had the prevledge of watching them grow into tomorrows Gwich'in leaders, knowing they would be employed at TCC or Doyon Limited. Both of them are so intelligent and will accomplish whatever they set their minds to.
Several weeks ago they were returning to Circle from Fairbanks with their grandmother Ruth Crow and aunt Kim. The Steese Highway is a very tricky highway during the summer months. But when you add a layer of ice, every trip is dangerous.
Too much time past with Elora listening to her aunt Kim in such pain, knowing her sister and grandmother had died. All four were safely seat belted in, yet Elora was the only one unhurt.
Not much has been said about specifics concerning the crash, just the sad fact of the heartbreaks for this family being felt in all the Gwich'in villages. And also in Monroe, Indiana.
