In Sisterhood: The History of Camp 2 of the Alaska Native Sisterhood With Liz Dodd and Members of AND Camp 2: Alberta Aspen, Dolores Cadiente, Marie Olson, Edward Kunz, Jr., Priscilla Kunz, Connie Munro, Ike Cropley, Eunice Akagi, Elizabeth Martin
In 2001, several ANS Camp 2 Sisters successfully wrote a grant to the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund to record the oral history of Life Members of Camp 2 (women who were 65 years old and had paid dues to ANS for 25 years or more). The grant resulted in a book-length history of Camp 2, told through the eyes of women and men with strong ties to the organization. The publication traces the history of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, establishment of Camp 2 in Juneau, and the lives of 30 members of the ANS and ANB. Metcalfe has invited all surviving members of the oral history project to discuss the impact of the Alaska Native Sisterhood and the Alaska Native Brotherhood on their lives. Metcalfe will discuss her seven-year journey as editor of the project. Copy editor and proofreader, Liz Dodd, will give a brief presentation titled, "Oral History as Owned Artifact" immediately preceding the panel discussion.
