Born in Nulato, Territory of Alaska, Carlo is a founding member of the Fairbanks Native Association (FNA) and has also served for the Alaska Bicentennial Commission board, as well as a consultant for the Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC). She is the author of Nulato: An Indian Life on the Yukon, which was dedicated in memory of her son, Stewart, who died in 1975 in an auto accident.
