That Alaska face...
From: MANY FROWN OVER POSSIBLE REMOVAL OF ALASKA AIRLINES' SMILING ESKIMO FACE

“the airline for years has gotten comments from passengers that the Eskimo face looks like Charles Manson, Moammar Gadhafi, Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson”

“US State Senator Willie Hensley, an Eskimo from Kotzebue, says the Eskimo face is that of the late Chester Seveck, "a reindeer herder and a phenomenal Eskimo dancer" who greeted deplaning tourists at Kotzebue for years. "His face is a symbol of Alaska."

So now you know!
