My Dream, My Love and My Life . . .
     I grew up and have lived most of my life in Ketchikan, Alaska. I was the first person from Ketchikan to compete in and complete the Iditarod. This will be my second running of Iditarod. I completed the 2011 Iditarod in 13 days 1 hour 49 minutes and 24 seconds. I came in 43rd out of 63 mushers. I had the time of my life and I hope to take what I learned on my inaugural run and improve on my second run down the trail to Nome!! referred from

Our special thanks to all who helped to make our celebration a success.

Valentine's Celebration

Silly Valentine Poems

An Angry Valentine
If you won't be my Valentine
I'll scream, I'll yell, I'll bite.
I'll cry aloud, I'll start to whine
If you won't be my Valentine.
I'll frown and fret, I'll mope and pine, and
It will serve you right ---
If you won't be my Valentine
I'll scream, I'll Yell, I'll Bite!

• Elizabeth spoke for the people. In her speech, she said . . .
• How Did Their Efforts Affect Me? (Elizabeth Peratrovich and Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Roy and Elizabeth moved from Klawock to Juneau in 1941 seeking employment. They were not allowed to lease the house of their choosing due to their race. Non-Indians associating with Indians were refused service. Signs were everywhere saying: "No Indians Allowed" and "White Trade Only." The ANB and ANS, with Roy and Elizabeth, decided it was time to again approach the Legislature regarding discrimination against Indians. As Elizabeth stood before the all-male Legislature, the packed gallery was tense with expectation. "I would not have expected," said Elizabeth in a strong steady voice, "that I, who am barely out of savagery, would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them of our Bill of Rights. (Ruaro, 2006) 
The senate passed the bill by a vote of 11 to 5. 

The Anti-Discrimination Act was signed on February 16, 1945,  We honor her on February 16th (Alaska State Holiday). 1988, the Alaska Legislature established The Annual "Elizabeth Peratrovich Day".
