Don Young (R-AK) on 1/3/17. 2/10/17-Referred to the Subcommittee on Amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs. to require the Department of the Interior to convey to Kian Tr'ee Corporation, an Alaska Native village corporation, for the Native village of Canyon Village, the surface estate of up to 6,400 acres of public land selected by the corporation. Interior must convey an equal acreage of subsurface estate to Doyon Limited, an Alaska Native regional corporation. Canyon Village was established on the banks of the Porcupine River at the tribe’s traditional village site used for hunting. After the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) passed in 1971, Canyon Village was recognized by Congress as a Native village subject to ANCSA, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs certified Kian Tr’ee Corporation as the corporation for Canyon Village. However, despite continued assurances over decades, the original land selections by Canyon Village have never been conveyed. The members of Canyon Village continue to hold their traditional site at Canyon Village of historical and cultural importance, and have long advocated for their land selections authorized by ANCSA. According to Delma Fields, First Chief of Canyon Village, “Our family, an extended family, chose to live here as it is our hunting grounds, and was our ancestor’s hunting grounds for many, many years. Our culture and our lives are based around land, this land in particular.” In June 1976, Kian Tr’ee Corporation filed its land selection with the Bureau of Land Management pursuant to ANCSA for conveyance to the Native group. However, due to a series of federal actions, the people of Canyon Village have been denied their aboriginal land claims provided by ANCSA for over 40 years now. Today Kian Tr’ee is one of two certified Native group corporations in Alaska that has neither a conveyance nor a pending conveyance arranged by special legislation or negotiation, yet there is a remedy at hand. Congressman Don Young introduced HR 231 in January 2016. HR 231, or the Canyon Village Land Conveyance Act, amends ANCSA to require the secretary of the interior to convey up to 6,400 acres of land selected to Kian Tr’ee. Passage of the bill would provide renewed hope in final conveyance. Fields said, “As our elders pass on, it’s imperative that we keep our connection with the land to continue our heritage for the sake of our children, grandchildren and future generations.” H.

  • Hit- Alyse Galvin Has Taken Fourteen-Thousand Dollars In
    Hit- Alyse Galvin has taken fourteen-thousand dollars in campaign contributions from Nancy Pelosi and her Leadership PAC, even after Galvin promised Alaskans she would not support Pelosi as Speaker. Backup: In 2018, Galvin Promised Not To Support Pelosi For Speaker: • During The 2018 Campaign, Galvin Said She Would Not Support Pelosi For Speaker And Said She Wanted “New Leadership.” “Galvin won the Democratic primary for the right to face off against the 23-term incumbent but identifies as an independent. Should she win and come to Washington, Galvin says she will caucus with Democrats, much like Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine, but will remain unaffiliated. Her campaign made clear she will not be supporting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for speaker and instead wants ‘new leadership.’” (Margaret Kriz Hobson, “Political Novice Has Sights On Don Young,” E&E News, 10/5/18) However, During The 2020 Campaign Cycle, Galvin Has Since Received $14,000 In Contributions From Pelosi: Editor’s Note: PAC To The Future is Nancy Pelosi’s Leadership PAC, according to the Center For Responsive Politics. • On June 26, 2020, Nancy Pelosi For Congress Contributed $4,000 To Galvin’s Campaign.

  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

  • A Bipartisan Letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi And
    May 28, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Thank you for your swift action and continuing efforts as we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (PL 116-136) provided our physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists with much-needed and meaningful aid to continue patient care operations during this pandemic, the effects of which could be felt for years. However, while Congress is diligently working to protect these important medical practices, they are being targeted for a sizeable cut that is slated to be finalized within the next few weeks. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) final CY2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rule published in November 2019 proposed increased rates for the office-based evaluation and management (E/M) code set in CY2021. Due to the requirement for budget neutrality, this would result in a projected eight percent cut for therapy services beginning on January 1, 2021. If these cuts are allowed to go into effect, they will be devasting and will limit access to care for patients, including seniors, who rely on these services. Ultimately, these cuts will force physical and occupational clinics to close, resulting in thousands of qualified professional clinicians, especially those in rural and urban areas in our districts, to lose their jobs.

A SMALL PLACE IN GEORGIA: YEOMAN CULTURAL PRESISTANCE by TERRENCE LEE KERSEY Under the Direction of Glenn Eskew ABSTRACT In antebellum Upcounty Georgia, the Southern yeomanry developed a society independent of the planter class. Many of the studies of the pre-Civil War Southern yeomanry describe a class that is living within the cracks of a planter-dominated society, using, and subject to those institutions that served the planter class. Yet in Forsyth County, a yeomanry-dominated society created and nurtured institutions that met their class needs, not parasitically using those developed by the planter class for their own needs. INDEX WORDS: Yeomanry, Antebellum, South, Upcountry, Georgia, Slavery, Country store, Methodist, Baptist A SMALL PLACE IN GEORGIA:
