Marvin Agnot
Alutiiq Alaskan Marvin Agnot lives in the village of Akhiok, the most remote and isolated village on the southern archipelago of Kodiak Island. Life is by the tides in Akhiok, and Marvin travels the bays and channels to find food. Marvin has no children of his own but many nieces and nephews in the village. His niece, Marcella, is married to Glyn, who moved to remote Akhiok from Los Angeles. Marvin has been a teacher and friend to Glyn, showing Glyn the subsistence lifestyle Marvin’s father taught him. This season, Marvin harvests food, and he and Glyn will build a greenhouse for the community of Akhiok.
