Place-Based Salmon Management in Taku River Tlingit Territory
STRIVING TO KEEP A PROMISE: PLACE-BASED SALMON MANAGEMENT IN TAKU RIVER TLINGIT TERRITORY by Susan L. Dain-Owens B.A. Dartmouth College, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June, 2008 © Susan L. Dain-Owens, 2008 ABSTRACT The Taku River Tlingit First Nation of Northwest British Columbia harvests salmon for commercial, cultural, and sustenance purposes. In this case study I describe the current co-management process of the Taku River salmon fishery as it exists between the First Nation and the Canadian and Alaskan governments, drawing primarily on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2007. In the past, Tlingit families spent the summer on the lower Taku River and vicinity, fishing as part of the seasonal round. Today many families continue to fish on the Taku, and life downriver is a rhythmic blend of hard work and rest. I experienced the knowledge sharing, cooperation, and flexibility that exists downriver and caught a glimpse of a particular Tlingit worldview. There exists a sense of community on the river between the Tlingit fishers, the non-native fishers, and scientists from both Alaska and Canada. Interaction and cooperation between these stakeholders occurs at different scales from individual to international. In both politics and daily life downriver, worldviews become intertwined in a dynamic play between the groups. Though problems and misunderstandings can arise at these junctures, the potential for knowledge sharing across these boundaries exists and should be recognized. -

Master Script Narrative
5-Glacier Flightseeing Narration Welcome aboard Wings Airways’ flightseeing tour. Before we get going, we’d like to acquaint you with some of the safety features of this deHavilland Otter aircraft you’re on today. There are four exits on this plane; two doors are the ones you entered the plane through. They are located in the aft part of this main cabin. These doors operate by moving the door handles up. There are also two doors in the cockpit. They operate by twisting the handle either direction. All exit doors open outward. Seatbelts should be worn low and snug while you’re seated in the aircraft. Please do not move about the cabin while taxiing or while we are flying. Life jackets are located in the pouch in front of you or on the co-pilot door. Please do not remove them from the holder unless you are told to do so by your pilot. There are two fire extinguishers. One is located under the pilot seat and one is in the baggage compartment at the rear of the plane. Survival gear and first aid kit are also located in the aft baggage compartment. For your comfort and safety, there is no smoking anytime while in or around the airplane. Please refer to the safety information cards located in the cabin and seat backs for additional information. Although taking off on water may seem a bit unusual, a floatplane is perfect for Alaska. Where ever you travel up here, you’ll see small planes being used like cars in other states. -

Through a close analysis of fort journals and related documents, I track the relationships between the Hudson‟s Bay Company newcomers and the Ts‟msyen peoples who lived in or around the fort. Based on the journal and some other accounts, I argue that a mutually intelligible – if not equally understood – world evolved at this site. -

Douglas Indian Association, 2017
Douglas Indian Association Anax Yaa Andagan Ye ̴̴ Sayeik Where the Sun Rays Touch First ̴̴ Spirit Helper Chief Anatlaháash of the T'aaku Tribe DOUGLAS INDIAN ASSOCIATION Federally recognized Tribe since 1934 The A`akw Kwáan & T`aaku Kwáan Tribal History 811 West 12th Street Juneau, Alaska 99801-1529 Phone: (907) 364-2916 Fax: (907) 364-2917 Background Douglas Indian Association (DIA), is the historical federally recognized Tribe of the Juneau, Douglas and Auke Bay region. While DIA also has members with other Alaska Native and American Indian lineage, it is primarily comprised of direct descendants of the Tribe’s original Base Roll membership originating from the T'aaḵu Kwáan and A'akw Kwáan clans which inhabited Anax YaatAndagan Yé (Douglas) and Dzantik'i Héeni (Juneau) since time immemorial. Some of the clans of DIA’s tribal territory are the Yanyeidí, Tsaateeneidí, Gaanaxádí, Ishkahittáan (T’aaku Kwáan), and L'eeneidí, Wooshkeetaan, L’uknax.adí (A’aakw Kwáan). DIA became a federally recognized tribe in 1934. Through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971, the State of Alaska conveyed lands to Native corporations formed under ANCSA, but no lands were conveyed to the Tribe(s). DIA’s traditional and historical territory encompasses the City and Borough of Juneau, as well as some areas to the east and north on Admiralty Island and the Chilkat Peninsula, to the south including Endicott Arm, and to the east into Canada in the areas of the Taku River and Atlin, B.C. Tribal History Tlingit people and their clans were well established and thriving in Southeast Alaska when European explorers made their first advances into the area in the 1700’s. -

"THESE RASCALLY SPACKALOIDS" the Rise of Gispaxlots Hegemony at Fort Simpson, 1832-401
"THESE RASCALLY SPACKALOIDS" The Rise of Gispaxlots Hegemony at Fort Simpson, 1832-401 JONATHAN R. DEAN CHOLARS STUDYING THE ACCESSIBLE and well-documented Tsimshian peoples have constructed a model of trade and rela S tions which revolves around the activities of the Coast Tsimshians, one division of one of the three powerful tribes of north ern British Columbia and southeast Alaska: the Tlingits, Haidas, and Tsimshians. According to this view, the powerful Chief Legaic had emerged as early as 1740 (coincidentally enough one year prior to Bering's arrival in Alaska) as the Native leader whose control of the transportation and exchange of furs on the productive Skeena river formed a bulwark against Euroamerican encroachments. The Gispaxlots chiefs Legaic have been featured in a wide variety of scholarly literature.2 Franz Boas noted in 1916 that Legaic was the 1 Provincial Archives of Manitoba, Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA) B.20i/a/5, Fort Simpson Journal, fo. 300!. "Spackaloids" is Work's rendering of Gispaxlots, or "elderberry place people" — a village of Coast Tsimshians formerly residing on the lower Skeena River of present-day British Columbia. The Tsimshians are divided into four tribes: the Gitksans, Nisga'as, Coast Tsimshians and Southern Tsimshians; references to "Tsimshians" pertain to Coast Tsimshians unless otherwise noted. Each tribe is spatially divided into villages, which occupy traditional areas and enjoy certain localized prerogatives, while the society as a whole is divided into four exogamous clans, with the component "houses" {walps) each associated with one of the clans. Houses were matrilineages of persons nominally related, and were typically dispersed among dwellings or "households" (tse walbs). -

Boro atty. talks remote sales tax Ordinance 19 will allow collection of sales tax from online purchases By SAM STOCKBRIDGE Daily News Staff Writer A proposed ordinance that would allow the Ketchikan Gateway Borough to apply sales tax to online purchases got one step closer to reality at Monday’s Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly meeting, though not without scrutiny. Ordinance 1917, which the Assembly on Monday unanimously voted to in- troduce, would allow an intergovernmental entity called the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission to collect sales taxes from online purchases on be- half of members of the commission. To facilitate that end, the ordinance would adopt the commission’s remote sales tax code as a new section of the borough’s existing tax code, potentially generating between $400,000 and $1 million in new revenues each year for the borough, according to Monday’s agenda state- ment. Borough Finance Director Cynna Gubatayao — who is the secretary of the commission’s board of directors — and Borough Attorney Glenn Brown have worked closely with Alaska Municipal League to establish the commission See ‘Sales tax,’ page A-5 51 COVID-19 cases reported in Alaska New resident cases spread across Hernando Melendez poses while a friend snaps a portrait on July 4 in front of a large scale American flag at Madison True Value. -
