      From 1991-2024, Tlingit Joaqlin Estus spent her career primarily as a reporter for public radio and television, and for the national online news platform ICT (formerly Indian Country Today). She has a degree in history from UAA and first worked as a historian for the National Park Service, then moved into coastal management. She began volunteering at KTOO, the public radio station in Juneau, working on a half-hour talk show on Native issues, then did an internship with Alaska Public Radio Network. This experience turned into jobs at KTOO, Minnesota Public Radio, and KNBA in Anchorage. She covered a range of topics, specializing in Alaska Native history, culture, and issues. She also worked in public communications for the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. In addition to awards from the Indigenous Journalists Association and Alaska Press Club, Joaqlin was inducted into the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame in October 2025 in recognition of her work as a cultural liaison. She continues to find interesting projects to work on during her retirement.
