Atz Kilcher Biography – Atz Kilcher Wiki
Atz Kilcher is a star in the Discovery series Alaska: The Last Frontier, an artist, singer-songwriter, and author. He was born on September 2, 1947, to Yule Kilcher and Ruth Kilcher.
Yule Kilcher had come to Alaska in the 1940s, to escape wartime tensions in his native Switzerland. When Alaska granted him 160 acres near Kachemack Bay to homestead. In 1955, Yule was one of 55 delegates chosen to help write Alaska’s new state constitution. He also produced the first documentary of life on a homestead—A Pioneer Family in Alaska—which he exhibited all over Europe during the 1950s. In the 1960s, he served in the Alaska Senate, while Ruth, a poet and writer, penned a regular column for the Anchorage Daily News.
As the oldest male of eight children, Atz considers himself the protector of the family. Among countless other things, he must protect his brother Otto’s herd from the wide range of meat hungry predators where they graze. South Central Alaska is home to black bear, brown bear, wolves and coyotes that all consider Otto’s cattle their own meat supply. It is Atz Sr.’s job to ensure that is not the case. Were the predators to have their way, Otto’s herd would be decimated in a season. Atz, the range-rider, refuses to allow that to happen.
Atz keeps a home at the homestead, but spends most of his time in the summer at the head of the bay, the summer range, either by himself or accompanied by his wife, Bonnie. The head of the bay provides Atz with shelter, water and salmon for him to remain content and free from any contact with the outside world. He is free to watch over the cattle, play music, weave baskets, and most importantly, stockpile his needs for the winter.
