Aikens’ childhood
Sue was born on 1st July 1963 in Mount Prospect, a small village in Illinois. She has even lived on a tropical island for over a year. Her grandparents were from a place called Linlithgow which is a town in West Lothian, Scotland.
When she was twelve years old, her mother left her father and moved to Alaska with her. She and her mother settled in a village nearby Fairbanks, which is also the largest city in interior Alaska. Later, her mother left her alone to live her own life. Then she leads her life according to her terms.
She did not have any person or senior to guide her. When asked about it, she said,
“When you’re by yourself, you just have to do things for yourself. I had a period of feeling sorry for myself, but I got over it and decided to see it as an adventure instead. And like we all do, I assess the environment and work within it.
A long-time Alaskan resident, whose name I think was Bill, handed me a rifle and some bullets, and that was that. The older Alaskans wish you the best, but you are what you make of yourself.
So when I made my first kill and fashioned myself some clothes and ate, I was sad, but also hungry and cold. Animals were my friends, but they had to also become my food, and I had to quickly learn to separate the two.”
