Description
Summary:Tlingit name was “Taats ” and she was Ishktaan from the “Pool-in-the-River ” house of Taku. Wilma served as a strong advocate for recovering women and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse during her nearly five years with the Training Project at the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Wilma (pictured here far right with Lindsee Acton) was a beloved member of the Juneau community and a vital force behind the development of the Real Tools manual. During her tenure at the Network, Wilma never wavered in her commitment to people who experienced harm at the hands of others and she worked hard to reduce barriers for women and children impacted by multiple forms of abuse.
