Yup'ik Alaskans say Congresswoman Mary Peltola has embraced a handed-down code of conduct which encourages interconnectedness, balance and respect for others.
Rep. Mary Peltola was the only member of Congress wearing a kuspuk on the first day of the 2023 session.
But as the week dragged on Peltola, a Democrat, was still waiting to be sworn in, a ceremony that can’t take place until a new House speaker is elected. But after round after round of voting, the Republican majority has yet to elect a speaker — the first time this has happened in a century. “For me, Yuuyaraq is just being human, to live and survive, to live honorably,” said Meade, who believes the world needs more “Yuuyaraq’ing.”she was the top vote-getter
Sen. Donny Olson, a Democrat who currently serves in a Senate bi-partisan majority coalition, believes Peltola is in a position to influence national politics. “You cannot have anybody that’s adversarial,” Olson said. “You need to help somebody else if they’re in need of food, in need of shelter, in need of friendship, in need of anything.”
“Let me tell you, I’ve been involved in politics for 30 years. But this is the toughest campaign, because of her, Mary,” Palin said to the crowd, which began cheering wildly.Anton McParland, who was Peltola’s campaign manager, said this was a powerful political moment.
