Vicki Curtiss shares with her granddaughter, Adara Curtiss, the story of their family’s roots in Petersburg, beginning with her grandparents’ immigration from Norway. She reflects on how Alaska’s Statehood impacted their family’s fish processing business, the origins of the Little Norway Festival and designing Petersburg’s Norwegian Bunad—highlighting the family’s continued celebration of their heritage. Vicki also honors the remarkable legacy of five generations working in the same fish processing company—an enduring symbol of cultural pride and economic contribution to the community. This interview was recorded in the spring of 2025 for Mr. Shumway’s Senior Alaska History class at Petersburg High School.
