  • Forest Management Plan for Native Allotments in the Doyon Region of Alaska
    Forest Management Plan For Native Allotments in the Doyon Region of Alaska Will Putman, CF Jake Sprankle, CF Fabian Keirn Tanana Chiefs Conference Forestry Program Fairbanks, Alaska August 22, 2012 Forest Management Plan for Native Allotments in the Doyon Region of Alaska Executive Summary Within the Doyon Region of Interior Alaska, there are 2,647 pending, approved and certified Native allotment parcels currently under trust management status, covering 256,629 acres. The United States government is trustee of these allotted lands, and as such has management responsibilities on these lands, including the assurance that these lands and their resources are managed in perpetuity for the benefit of their Native Alaskan owners. Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC), a non-profit Native corporation serving 42 tribes in the Doyon Region, has assumed forest management responsibilities on most Native allotments within this region through an Indian Self Governance Compact agreement with the U.S. Government, along with several other tribal organizations in the region. This document is a programmatic plan designed to guide TCC in fulfilling its trust responsibilities in providing forest management services to Native allotment owners within the Doyon Region, and has been prepared by the TCC Forestry Program, with support from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Alaska Region Office and the BIA Branch of Forest Resource Planning. Accompanying responsibilities associated with Native allotment wildland fire management and protection have been addressed in a Fire Management Plan completed by TCC in 2002 and are not dealt with directly within the scope of this plan, although references to wildland fire issues and concerns are made throughout.

The rivers and streams of Bristol Bay receive runs of five species of Pacific Salmon that number in the tens of millions. In turn, the runs of salmon, through the sheer weight of biomass they bring inland to their spawning streams, support populations of Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling and other resident sport fish. Bears, eagles and numerous other animals also benefit from the food chain created by the salmon, and the result is an ecosystem, a wild, balanced ecosystem of unique abundance.

  • Yukon and Kuskokwim Whitefish Strategic Plan
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Whitefish Biology, Distribution, and Fisheries in the Yukon and Kuskokwim River Drainages in Alaska: a Synthesis of Available Information Alaska Fisheries Data Series Number 2012-4 Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office Fairbanks, Alaska May 2012 The Alaska Region Fisheries Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts fisheries monitoring and population assessment studies throughout many areas of Alaska. Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

  • \ Preliminary Report on the Sheenjek River ( District
    \ PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE SHEENJEK RIVER ( DISTRICT By J. B. MERTIE, Jr. INTRODUCTION Fort Yukon, at the confluence of Porcupine and Yukon Rivers, at north latitude 66° 34' and west longitude 145° 18', is the natural point of entry into a great unmapped area, with an extent of more than 60,000 square miles, in northeastern Alaska. (See fig. 2.) This area includes the territory southeast, east, and northeast of Fort Yukon to the international boundary, and north and northwest to the Arctic Ocean, with the exception of the Canning River district.1 About one-third of this unmapped area is drained by Porcupine River and its tributaries, among the larger of which are Sheenjek (Salmon) and Coleen (Succor) Rivers, from the north, and Black and Little Black Rivers, from the east. Sheen jek River, with which this paper is concerned, heads in the Brooks Range and runs in a general southerly direction to the Porcupine, which it joins about 45 miles by river from the mouth of that stream. During the sum­ mer of 1926 a Geological Survey expedition, comprising four men with two canoes, worked up Sheenjek River almost to its forks, map­ ping the valley on both sides of the river as far as travel was practicable. On account of injuries incurred by two members of the party this work was discontinued in mid-season, but an area of about 1,000 square miles was covered, as shown on Plate 2. The exact geodetic position of the mapped area is not well established, because the hurried return trip made it impossible to carry a traverse down through the Porcupine and Yukon Flats into Fort Yukon, whose geo­ detic position is established.
