Michael Livingston has thoroughly researched Benny Benson's family tree and history, publishing several articles about the only US state flag designed by a Native American. Mike applied for and received a superior court order from the Alaska Court System which ordered Alaska Vital Statistics to correct Benny Benson's birth certificate. Mike has served as a police officer in Alaska for 28 years, served as a principal investigator with the National Science Foundation, and was recognized by US Senator Dan Sullivan as a "detective with a servant's heart."
