  • Routes to Riches 2015 1 Danielhenryalaska.Com
    Routes to Riches 2015 1 danielhenryalaska.com Routes to Riches Daniel Lee Henry [email protected] A ground squirrel robe nearly smothered northern Tlingits’ nascent trust in their newly-landed missionaries. Long-time trading ties with Southern Tutchone and Interior Tlingit funneled wealth to Native residents of the upper Lynn Canal. Luxurious furs from the frigid north brought prices many times that of local pelts. For example, while the coastal red fox fur was worth $1.75 in “San Francisco dollars” in 1883, a Yukon silver fox brought up to $50 (about $1200 in 2015). Several times a year, Tlingit expeditions traversed routes considered secret until local leaders revealed their existence to Russians and Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. A day’s paddle to the upper Chilkat River brought travelers to a trail leading over through barrier coastal mountains into the vast, rolling subarctic Interior. On the eastern route, packers left Dyea at the terminus of Taiya Inlet and slogged a twenty-mile trail to a keyhole pass into lake country that drains into the Yukon River headwaters. The image of prospectors struggling up the “Golden Staircase” to Chilkoot Pass engraved the Klondike gold rush of ‘98 onto the license plates of cultural memory. For centuries, Chilkats and Chilkoots sustained a trading cartel connected by their respective routes. From tide’s edge to the banks of the Yukon River four hundred miles north, Tlingits insisted on customer allegiance. They discouraged Interior trading partners from commerce with anyone but themselves and expressly prohibited economic activity without invitation. The 1852 siege of Fort Selkirk and subsequent expulsion of Hudson’s Bay Company demonstrated the market realities of the Chilkat/Chilkoot cartel.

  • November 10, 2015 As Residents of the Eagle Vista Subdivision
    November 10, 2015 As residents of the Eagle Vista subdivision between mile 26 and 27, Haines Highway, we are vehemently opposed to the proposed establishment of a heliport in our long-established, quiet residential neighborhood. In fact, we moved from Juneau to this neighborhood specifically to move to a quieter locale, and escape the noise of helicopters and traffic in Juneau. We believe an introduction of such facilities in our established neighborhood violates the longstanding (and successfully litigated) principle of quiet enjoyment of home property. What is more, a strong majority of our neighbors feel the same way. In short, this quiet residential neighborhood was here first. The written covenants for the Eagle Vista subdivision clearly demonstrate the value that this neighborhood has always placed on its extremely quiet rural character. Inserting a heliport in our midst would be both disruptive and incompatible. There is no comparing the occasional noise of a local sawmill to that of a busy heliport operating the bulk of daylight hours during season. The expensive noise study was skewed in its parameters, methodology, and interpretation. There is no way you can mix in A-Stars taking off and landing in sequence in a narrowing, sound-amplifying valley and come up with any manner of relative quiet. We deserve protection from the incursion of helicopters taking off and landing less than a mile from our homes. We obviously moved here because we value that rural peace over convenience. As residents of the Haines Borough, we implore the planning commission to sustain our rights to quiet enjoyment of our property.

This action challenges Defendants’ approvals advancing a hardrock mine exploration project within the Chilkat River watershed northwest of Haines, Alaska. Defendants’ actions violate the National Environmental Policy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. 2. The Chilkat watershed and its natural values are central to the livelihoods and culture of many who fish, hunt, and otherwise enjoy its natural beauty and wildlife. The watershed’s wild stocks of salmon have been, and continue to be, essential to the way of life of the Tlingit people who have resided there for millennia, and are important to commercial and recreational users in the region as well.

K122 SATELLITE IMAGE ATLAS OF GLACIERS OF THE WORLD St. Elias Mountains Introduction Much of the St. Elias Mountains, a 750×180-km mountain system, strad- dles the Alaskan-Canadian border, paralleling the coastline of the northern Gulf of Alaska; about two-thirds of the mountain system is located within Alaska (figs. 1, 100). In both Alaska and Canada, this complex system of mountain ranges along their common border is sometimes referred to as the Icefield Ranges. In Canada, the Icefield Ranges extend from the Province of British Columbia into the Yukon Territory. The Alaskan St. Elias Mountains extend northwest from Lynn Canal, Chilkat Inlet, and Chilkat River on the east; to Cross Sound and Icy Strait on the southeast; to the divide between Waxell Ridge and Barkley Ridge and the western end of the Robinson Moun- tains on the southwest; to Juniper Island, the central Bagley Icefield, the eastern wall of the valley of Tana Glacier, and Tana River on the west; and to Chitistone River and White River on the north and northwest.
