Eunice Njootli (d. 1925)
	
Eunice was the daughter of Chief Satah from the Fort McPherson area. She was adopted by the First Nation Anglican minister John Ttssiettla after her mother died.((Yukon Archives, Anglican Church Records, Cor 254 f.12.)) Eunice married Rev. Amos Njootli and travelled with him to Rampart House where he ministered from 1911 to 1923.((Yukon Archives, Correspondence from James Fyfe, RG 18, vol. 532, f. 206-17.)) 
In July 1925, Bishop Stringer’s wife wrote to Eunice about sending clothes, bedding, twine, and other small household things and saying she was sorry to hear about the death of her son. She also said that if she re-married the Bishop would not be able to continue sending things every year [as her pension].((Yukon Archives, Anglican Church Diocese of Yukon, COR f.20. Series 1-1a.)) 

Eunice Njootli became ill at Rampart House and she and three of her children went down the Porcupine River to Fort Yukon, Alaska for medical assistance. She died there during an epidemic of influenza. The two older children were ill and stayed at the Episcopal Hospital while the youngest child was taken in by a family in the community. They had a half-brother, Thomas Njootli at Rampart House, Yukon and an aunt, Jane Njootli, living at Circle, Alaska.((Reverend J. Hawksley to Bishop Stringer, 4 December 1925. Yukon Archives, Anglican Church Records, Cor 254.))
	
In October 1925, the General Synod Pension Fund notified Bishop Stringer that the three young orphans would receive a yearly grant of $180 from the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land. They were entitled to a gross annual grant of $500, paid to their legal guardian.((Letter from the Treasurer of the General Synod Pension Fund to the Bishop of the Yukon, 23 October 1925.
