Annie Blanchard (1918 - 2001)
	
Annie Blanchard was Northern Tutchone Crow clan, born in Little Salmon village to Little Salmon and Mary Jimmy. She had two sisters and one brother and lived most of her younger years around the Lakeview, Little Salmon and Carmacks area. She met her husband, Frank Blanchard Sr., while he was cutting wood for the riverboats. Frank and Annie were married in 1938 at Fort Selkirk, and they moved to Dawson in the 1940s. They rafted up and down the river with their children Nora and Lionel until they settled in Tr’ochek. The rest of their children were born in Dawson. In the 1970s, Annie won the Golf Ulu for bannock making and tea boiling at the Yellowknife Northern Games in Yellowknife. In the 1980s, Annie declined with Alzheimer's disease and eventually lived at the Thompson Centre in Whitehorse. She was survived by husband Frank and children Lionel, Frankie Jr., Trudy Lingren (Barry), Kathy Bullen (Chuck), Paul (Elaine), Susan, Ralph, Kevin, Grace, Joanne, and many grandchildren.((//The Klondike Sun// (Dawson), 27 February 2001.))
