Happy Elizabeth Peratrovich Day! Every February 16th, people across Alaska celebrate Elizabeth's incredible contributions to freedom and equality. Today, we honor the Łingit civil rights leader's legacy to secure and expand the rights of all Alaska Natives, and her work towards the Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act (the very first in the United States) which was signed into law on this day in 1945. #aisd #aisdproud #elizabethperatrovich #wayiwah #Łingit #elizabethperatrovichday #tsimshiannation #metlakatla
