Mary Luke (1903 - 1991)
	
Mary Luke was born at Fort Selkirk. Every winter, she and Taylor McGundy moved to their trapline.((Jim Robb, “Old friends at Mary Luke’s fish camp.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 5 August 2008.)) Their muskrat camp was not far from Carmacks and they had a nice cabin at 18 Mile.((Jim Robb, “Taylor McGundy in the muskrat camp.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 20 July 2009.)) In the summer they lived at Mary’s well-known fish camp near Carmacks. Mary was kind-hearted and hard-working. Everyone was welcome at her fish camp.((Sweeny Scurvey, “Mary Isaac made people proud to be Indian.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 12 April 1991.)) Mary Luke ran her fish camp for over fifty years. A photo at Yukon Archives shows George Dawson, Mary Luke, Emma Shorty, and Roxy Carrier at the camp in the 1960s.((Jim Robb, “Old friends at Mary Luke’s fish camp.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 5 August 2008.))
