2018 Alaska Tribal Court Directory
2018 ALASKA TRIBAL COURT DIRECTORY Prepared by Alaska Legal Services Corporation Foreword & Acknowledgements In 2012, due to the support and efforts of many people and organizations, Alaska Legal Services Corporation (ALSC) released the first Alaska Tribal Court Directory. The original directory was compiled from information shared by 90 Alaska Tribes through ALSC’s 2011 tribal court survey, supplemented by additional information from Carol Brown and April January of the Association of Village Council Presidents and Lisa Jaeger of Tanana Chiefs Conference. The tribal court survey was made possible by the support and cooperation of Gloria Gorman from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Diane Payne of the Justice for Native Children Projects. This updated directory includes information from 102 Alaska Tribes, which was gathered through a new survey issued in partnership with the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (ANDVSA). Changes and additions have been made where Tribes provided updated contact information and data about the types of cases their tribal courts handle. Additional information was gathered and shared with ALSC by Denise Nerby and Sinea Williams of the Association of Village Council Presidents. A big thank you to all of the Tribes that responded to our requests for information and shared valuable data with us on the critical work Alaska tribal courts are doing to serve their children, families, and communities. As a word of caution, there may be Tribes operating tribal courts that are not in this directory. This directory should not be used as a definitive statement of the number of tribal courts operating in Alaska or of the types of cases being heard by tribal courts. -
Staff Analysis Fsa15-02/03/05/07/08
Federal Subsistence Board STAFF ANALYSIS FSA15-02/03/05/07/08 ISSUES Five separate Fishery Special Action Requests FSA15-02, 03, 05, 07, and 08 were submitted by the Akiak Native Community, Native Village of Napakiak, Native Village of Akiachak, Native Village of Chuathbaluk, and the Native Village of Lower Kalskag, respectively. All request that the Federal Subsistence Board (Board) close Federal public waters of the Kuskokwim River drainage to the harvest of salmon except by Federally qualified subsistence users, further reduce the pool of eligible harvesters based on the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) Section 804 analysis that was implemented in 2014, and implement an allocation strategy among eligible users. DISCUSSION All five Tribes request that the Board implement a strategy for Chinook Salmon subsistence management and allocation that will ensure the ability of subsistence users, consistent with necessary conservation, to engage in their customary and traditional uses of Chinook Salmon. The Tribes state that without Federal management of Kuskokwim River Chinook Salmon fisheries, local communities will not be ensured a priority and opportunity for customary and traditional uses of Chinook Salmon that are required by Title VIII of ANILCA. The Tribes said that without Federal management, their social and cultural reliance on Chinook Salmon will be impacted. The State manager anticipates low Kuskokwim River Chinook Salmon returns again in 2015. The proponents state that without Federal management, the Tribes’ abilities to harvest Chinook Salmon for customary and traditional subsistence uses will be compromised by other regulatory requirements that do not prioritize rural subsistence uses. Therefore, the Tribes request the Board use the 2014 ANILCA Section 804 determination to provide for equitable opportunity for subsistence uses of Chinook Salmon by communities within the Kuskokwim River drainage. -
