Description:
Sally Hudson (left) and Dorothy Hertlein (right) selling crafts at the Fairbanks Native Association booth at the Tanana Valley State Fair, Fairbanks, Alaska, early 1960s.
According to Sally Hudson, crafts sold by FNA were an important method of fundraising. Ten percent of the sale profits went to benefit FNA and its activities. All of the crafts sold came from the villages, and Sally recalled that the quality of the items was always high. People eagerly volunteered to work the booths at fairs, such as Golden Days and the Tanana Valley State Fair.
