WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Murkowski, R-AK, released the
following statement regarding the passing of Reverend Doctor Walter Soboleff:

to do his best in a time of changing culture and one who took positives from
both the Native and Western worlds. I think I can speak for all of Alaska
when I say he achieved that goal.
“I would like to offer Reverend Soboleff’s family and many
friends my heartfelt condolences. Know that he served the Native people
and our beloved State of Alaska over the course of his entire life, 102 years;
and it is my hope that his life will continue to serve as an inspiration to all
of us.”
