Six years ago, Juliana Anelon had never imagined that she would become a Tribal doctor. At that time, she was working as a Community Health Aide/Practitioner in Iliamna, Alaska, and the surrounding area. As she says, “I’ve always had a yearning for my culture, our Yupik ways. A lot of the things that we do, the way that we live our life every day. It’s a part of traditional healing.” But it wasn’t until she saw a job opening for a Tribal doctor position at Southcentral Foundation that she realized it was something she could do.
