Posted by Maria Dudzak | Jan 29, 2021
A resident of Prince of Wales Island, who is the world’s oldest living Haida, is being honored for his longevity and community service. Fred Hamilton, Sr. will be celebrating his birthday next Tuesday in Craig, the community he was born in 100 years to the day.
Fred Hamilton, Sr. was born in Craig in 1921, the middle of nine children. He is of the Raven moiety and his crests are Owl, Brown Bear and Flicker. When he was 10 years old, his mother died and he and several of his siblings were sent to the Sheldon Jackson boarding school in Sitka the following year. Hamilton said he would return to Craig each summer to commercial fish to earn money to pay the $35 annual tuition. After graduating in 1942, he and another man from Sitka joined the Navy.
