The Land Description is based on a review of documents recorded in the Indian Lands Registry in concert with other documents from various sources relating to the extent of title to the reserve land; it does not represent a legal interpretation of those documents. Should there be differing interpretations; legal assistance might be required to determine the definitive nature of the interests in land. The content of this Land Description is based on the documents reviewed; however, no guarantee should be implied that would preclude the existence of other documents not discovered during the course of this research that might also affect the extent of title to the reserve land. This Land Description Report was prepared by Pat Burnham, BCLS, CLS of the Surveyor General Branch in accordance with the guidelines established under the authority of the Surveyor General of Canada Lands.

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT "\ TAKE PRIDE" Alaska State Office INAMERICA 222 W. 7th Avenue, # 13 Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7599 http://www.ak.blm.gov To: File AA-085787 (1864) From: Navigable Waters Specialist Subject: Navigability ofStikine River, Southeast Alaska On February 17, 2005, the State of Alaska (State) filed an application for a recordable disclaimer of interest for the bed of the Stikine River from its mouth to the United States-Canada International Boundary, a distance of approximately 27 miles. The State also applied for lands underlying "all named interconnecting sloughs including Binkleys Slough, Red Slough, Guerin Slough, King Slough, Andrew Slough, Hooligan Slough, Shakes Slough, Shakes Lake, North Arm, and Ketili River, between the ordinary high water lines of the left and right banks .... " The State included with its application a legal description of the river, supporting evidence, and a map dated April 5, 2004 showing the Stikine River.l The State's submissions are more fully described in Attachment A. On June 4, 2007, the State submitted additional information in support of its application for the bed ofthe Stikine River. In this letter, the State asserted that the Tongass National Forest did not include the beds of navigable waters within the exterior boundaries of the reserve and, therefore, did not defeat the State's title to the bed ofthe navigable Stikine River.2 As the State's evidence shows, the Stikine River has been used almost continuously as a highway of commerce since before the Purchase of Alaska in 1867. Both Great Britain and the United States recognized the river's importance as a highway in the Washington Treaty of May 8, 1871.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.

Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.
