What Medieval Calligraphy taught this Eagle River Lawyer | INDIE ALASKA
Greg Henrikson, a lawyer in Eagle River, became fascinated with Medieval History and delved into medieval calligraphy for the Historic Recrudescence Guild (HRG), a Medieval Re-enactment group. The HRG sets up a medieval village annually at the Three Barons Renaissance Fair in Anchorage, Alaska. Greg initially thought it would be an easy hobby to learn, but soon realized he would have to teach himself all the elements of this ancient craft.

    Speaking as a displaced alaskan, I have had the opinion for some years now that anytime something exists in the lower 48 and gets popular, it often exists first or even better in AK. Like telehealth is pretty new down here, but in AK CHAP has been around for longer than telehealth was a concept. Who needs a dozen apps when you've got Kusko Cab?

    Thank you for sharing this moving story. I understand the feeling of being tired of having to be strong. It seems an unfair burden, and yet everyone is having to bear it, without much support. I'm glad to see that more resources are being made available, and made culturally appropriate. I wonder what we outside the community can do. Can scholarships be set up so that counsellors from the village can be trained, the return home to help? What future do they want for themselves, and how can we support that happening?

    Quyana! Thanks to modern technology I have the opportunity to learn about my culture and heritage. Over the years I’ve grown a vast appreciation in keeping the unwritten traditions alive. My mother and grandmother passed some time ago in Anchorage, so their experiences and stories went with them. I’m a descendant of the Oscar family from Bethel but know absolutely nothing about them sadly. I just hope that we can use todays tools to record everything we can before the opportunity slips us. ❤
