At the time of her sabbatical, Tracey Simeon was the tribal administrator of the Native Village of Chuathbaluk, northeast of Bethel, for more than five years, and an Indian Child Welfare Act worker for many years before that. She said the tribal administrator’s job is taxing, the hours are long, and she needed time to recharge. She spent more time with her family including her young son and went on a much-needed vacation.
