Biography

Margaret Shotter Evans was the daughter of George Ray Shotter, Sr., and Lucy Shotter, a Tlingit woman of Wrangell, Alaska. Through her parents, she was part of a family connected with both Southeast Alaska Native communities and the broader network of settlers and traders moving between Alaska and British Columbia during the late nineteenth century.

Her siblings included George Ray Shotter Jr., born April 5, 1882, in Chemainus, British Columbia, Canada; Frank Shotter; Mrs. L. Kane; Mrs. Thomas Murray of Hoonah, Alaska; and Mrs. J. O. Ross of Seattle, Washington.

Margaret later lived in California, reflecting the movement of many Alaska territorial families along the Pacific Coast during the early twentieth century.
