About this ebook
Carl Pavilla
Carl Pavilla, born in Bethel and raised in Atmautluak, is the son of Fred and Evelyn Pavilla Sr. and next to the youngest of eight children. Carl graduated from Joann A. Alexie Memorial High School and attended University of Alaska Fairbanks before joining the U.S.M.C. and being stationed in Hawaii. He came up with Unsuspected while walking on the beach at Tulukarnarlak where he found a stone arrowhead. There is only tundra in the area and no rocks. Surprised to see an arrowhead, he looked around. About ten feet from the first arrow head, he found another one. He then remembered a story from an Elder about the casualties of war. He said that at one wartime, every ten dead were speared to count them. So thinking about that story, he discovered a stone arrowhead every ten feet. The last one was an ivory tusk from a walrus or a mammoth. Thinking that the arrowhead story might have happened he decided to write it down along with other oral stories to perserve them. Elders, friends, and family supplied the Unsuspected stories. When stories about shaman were told, people would stop and listen.
