Ida Nelson, a tribal clerk and newsletter editor for the village council, jumped into action. ⁠ ⁠ Nelson made 32 calls requesting assistance, and at least 20 residents ― many of whom were wearing pajamas ― showed up to light the runway with their vehicle headlights so the plane could land. Nelson was also there with her all-terrain vehicle.⁠ ⁠ “That’s pretty much almost every household in this village,” she told Alaska Public Media. “I was anxious and nervous and I was like, ‘So what if that was my baby [waiting for that] plane.’”⁠ ⁠ The girl requiring medical care was safely transported to Anchorage, and Nelson told CNN that Igiugig coming together was a matter of course.⁠ ⁠ “It’s an ordinary thing to happen here in such a small community,” she said. “And what I’m finding out is that it’s extraordinary to other people.” Read more at our link in bio. // 📷 Ida Nelson」9月4日 7時45分
