Archie Olanna, a 40-year-old American Indian/Alaska Native man, was last seen on October 19, 1969, in Brevig Mission on the Seward Peninsula. He and Fanny Olanna left town by boat headed for Point Clarence. The two were never seen again after departing.

Their boat was later found abandoned on a beach near the Port Clarence Coast Guard Station. No other conclusive evidence about their fate is reported. The Alaska State Troopers investigated, but the circumstances that led to the pair’s disappearance remain unresolved.

The family and community were left without answers about whether an accident, weather, mechanical trouble, or some other event ended the voyage. If anyone knew Archie or Fanny, their plans that day, or saw the boat after October 19, 1969, please share what can help clarify what happened.
