Miller. His parents focused teaching him the importance of hard-work. “I was six and a half years old and my Dad had taught me how to drive” he continues, “My sister put a ‘Taxi’ sign on this car I had and I started giving G.I.s rides.” By the age of eleven, he saved up enough money from working around the village and bought himself his first vehicle. “I saved up my money from cutting wood for my customers” he says, “And then I used this truck to transport the wood.” After becoming the First Chief at nineteen years old after his father retired, Miller began traveling and lobbying for his community. It was Miller who lobbied to get a water plant in Takotna. Miller later landed a job at Tanana Chiefs Conference working for then- President Spud Williams.

Winter is upon us and with changing weather comes hazards. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind before you venture out in rural Alaska: • Be Prepared- make sure you have a plan. • Tell someone where you’re going and the route you plan to take. • Always check weather conditions, try to bring a partner for long travel. • Slow down and avoid traveling across bodies of water when uncertain of the ice thickness. • With warmer temperatures it’s getting harder to predict the thickness and relative safety over rivers and lakes. • Finally, don’t drive impaired! We want you to get to your destination safely.
