THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2002 A celebration to honor Tlingit activist Elizabeth Peratrovich has been delayed so that President Bush can attend a Republican fundraiser in Anchorage, Alaska. Bush is due to stop in Anchorage Saturday to attend the $1,000-a-head event. But since it is being held at the Alaska Native Heritage Center, the already scheduled ceremony for Peratrovich has been delayed one day, to the outrage of a member of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, the group founded by the late activist. "This is like a continuation, by moving this aside, of ignoring our history," Eleanor Hadden told The Anchorage Daily News. "We should expose (Bush) to what's going on. If he is any kind of politician, why doesn't he have that be done while he's here to really see what's going on while he's in Alaska?" Get the Story:
