Louise Chiklak sues City of Mountain Village for wrongful death in Bethel court

Louise Chiklak filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Mountain Village on Oct. 15 in Bethel Superior Court.

The city is the only defendant named. The case appeared in the Alaska Court System's daily report of new filings. That report lists the parties, case type and court, but not who died, when or how.

The public docket lists a complaint for damages and a demand for a jury trial, both dated Oct. 15, and names Judge Nathaniel Peters. It does not say how much the suit seeks, and no attorney is listed for either party. The docket shows filing titles but not the documents themselves, so the complaint's allegations are not available there.

Mountain Village is a second-class city in the Kusilvak Census Area with a manager form of government, according to the Alaska Municipal League.
