Norman Olson is a former teacher, preacher and gun salesman. The Nikiski resident transplanted his family and a few friends from Michigan several years ago, to take up root in Alaska. This in itself is not unusual, as many disenchanted with life in the Lower 48 travel North to seek a new start. What is unusual is that Olson came here to start an independent Alaska militia. His group has ties to militias on a national hate watch list.
