Anne Ranigler, Enkhume
	
Anne Ranigler is a member of the Crow (Hanjat) clan of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation. She was given the name Enkhume after her aunt Annie Wickstrom. She and her family lived along the Thirty Mile and Teslin rivers, staying at Tanana Reef and travelling to Big Eddy, Hootalinqua, and Livingstone Creek. Her knowledge of Northern Tutchone heritage was largely due to her grandmother, Violet McGundy (~1883 - 1984), who played a major role in her upbringing. Anne Ranigler’s mother, Emma Shorty, taught Northern Tutchone at Yukon College.((Yukon Native Language Centre, “New native language book published." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 11 May 2007.))

Annie attended residential school in Whitehorse and Carcross from age six but never lost her native language. Her parents were fluent in Northern Tutchone and that is how they spoke to their children.  Still, by the time Anne left school she was no longer a fluent speaker and she had to relearn it. Her grandmother visited her when Anne and her first husband operated the lodge at Midway from 1970 to 1981.  She would arrive on the bus and she and Annie would speak Northern Tutchone.((Yukon Native Language Centre, “New native language book published." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 11 May 2007.))

Ranigler began a new career as community health representative in Carmacks in 1986. She worked with elders and was the translator between the elders and the doctors and nurses. In 1991, Ranigler started work with Yukon Government's Aboriginal Language Service as a Northern Tutchone language interpreter in Carmacks. When the job ended in 2002, Anne and her husband moved to Whitehorse where she took two semesters of prep classes at Yukon College and then started a job at the Yukon Native Language Centre. Ranigler completed the native language instructor certificate program at Yukon College and received a native language instructor diploma in 2007. She and the Yukon Native Language Centre finished a book of listening exercises in Northern Tutchone in 2007.((Yukon Native Language Centre, “New native language book published." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 11 May 2007.))
