Paul Erhart (AK), is a Koyukon, Athabascan Native American of the Tanana Tribe in Alaska. He lives at the confluence of the Tanana and sacred Yukon Rivers where year round he takes the daily vitals of the river as the Assessment and Monitoring Coordinator of the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council. If there is an opportunity to teach others about river monitoring, Paul thinks nothing about traveling 14 hours by boat to give a talk or training about the river he loves.
