With heavy hearts, UAS Ketchikan shares the passing of gifted artist, and cultural leader, Israel Shotridge. His presence, wisdom, and artistry touched many lives and will not be forgotten. Through his work, he carried forward traditions, stories, and values that will continue to guide future generations.
The UAS Maritime Center is honored to have been home to the Sun Raven Pole since it was raised in 2003, a lasting reflection of his legacy and connection to the community.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, clan, and all who knew him. We honor his life, his artistry, and the profound impact he has made.
May he rest peacefully, and may his journey be guided by ancestors.
