Shaped by The Wild: The Story of Sally Gibert

Shaped by the wilderness and the lawless town of McCarthy Alaska in the 1970s, Sally Gibert lived the frontier life in Alaska then went on to found a significant and impactful nonprofit and eventually helped shape the map of the state of Alaska. This is part one of two parts, exploring Sally's early adult life in the frontier town of McCarthy as she navigates local culture, faces the challenges of keeping warm during one of McCarthy's coldest winters, and engages with the grief of a town in the aftermath of a violent shooting. Part two explores Sally's state-wide impact through her work on land policy.
