Elders' Biographies

When asked the whereabouts of her birthplace, “I think it’s Caribou River,” says Elizabeth Blake, “Up that side!” Her parents were Caroline and Esau George. Elizabeth and her siblings were raised up the river, not far from Dawson during the initial years of the Second World War.
