Rickhart J. Rowland

Rickhart J Rowland is the Lands and Natural Resources Manager for TNC. He has an extensive knowledge of the land, waters, wildlife, birds, berries, plants and most importantly fish in Alaska. Growing up in an Alaskan native village has established an important foundation of responsibility in him. Being a Suq’piaq Aleut from Afognak Island, like other Alaska Native Indians, has taught him to care for all of these important things because they will be passed on to the children. Rick travelled the world while serving in the United States Marine Corps for eight years. When he re- turned home to Alaska he realized that the ancestors had taken care the world, a responsibility that has passed on to him. Part of this responsibility was gaining an education in the outside world. This led him to obtaining a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alaska, Anchorage and a master’s certificate from the Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage. This education from the outside world allows for under- standing and knowledge about what a huge difference it is to live in the village. Throughout his life he has been a commercial fisherman, tourism guide, business operator and a serv- ant to the Alaska native community as a director on the Afognak Native Corporation Board and the Na- tive Village of Afognak. While at the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak, as the Natural Resources Director, Rick worked with Federal and State Agencies as a member on the Kodiak Island Regional Advisory Council on Subsistence and the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council. He has traveled to DC on many occasions to advocate for about many subjects. “Using the resources, while caring for the lands and waters, will allow for future generations to have the same benefits of customary and traditional practices and uses, as we and our ancestors have enjoyed. Environmental Stewardship is an important part of being a responsible land manager. The earth is a magnificent place and we all have to do our part to take care of it by being responsible, healthy, and when each one of us are well, together the earth will be too.” Paris Lokanin

Paris Lokanin is the new administrative assistant in the Anchorage office. She was born in Soldotna, and raised in Anchorage. She is from the Vil- lage of Tyonek.

Paris worked for Cook Inlet Housing Authority as an Administrative Assis- tant for the Finance Department. She moved to the Housing Department, where she could assist people with the great opportunities CIHA provides. She was able to assist many people in that role. Paris has a daughter, Alexys who is 11 years old. They enjoy watching movies, road trips, and camping.
