 Amos Njootli (1872 – 1923)
-Amos Njootli was living on the Peel River around 1901. Reverend John Ttssiettla, the first First Nation ordained minister inside the Arctic Circle, asked Amos to accompany him across the mountains to Dawson. The trip was hard and Ttssiettla, who was old, died along the trail. His last wish was that Amos Njootli carry on his clerical work.((Yukon Archives, Anglican Church Records, Cor 254 f.12.)) Amos was probably encouraged by his family. His wife, Eunice, was Reverend Ttssietla’s adopted daughter.((Manuscript "Summery of the Anglican Church in Yukon" by Archdeacon Allan Haldenby of Dawson in 1957 and updated by Lee Sax and Bishop Ronald Ferris in 1991.)) His older brother, Reverend William Njootli, worked for many years with Archdeacon McDonald at Fort McPherson.((Yukon Archives, Anglican Church Records, Cor 254 f.12.))
