John Hoover, an Alaska Native artist, died on Saturday. He was 91.
Hoover, who was Aleut, was born on October 13, 1919. He began his art career late in life, starting with a boat in the 1960 that turned out more like a sculpture.
Hoover's large works are now featured throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
They can be found at the Egan Civic and Convention Center, the Alaska Native Medical Center and the Alaska Native Heritage Center.
