Summer Time, begins and ends. A blank DST box usually indicates that the location stays on Standard Time all year, although in some cases the location stays on Summer Time all year. If a location is currently on DST, add one hour to the time in the Time column. To determine how much and in which direction you will need to adjust your watch, first adjust the time offsets of your source and destination for DST if applicable, then subtract the offset of your departure city from the offset of your destination. For example, if you were flying from Houston (UTC−6) to South Africa (UTC+2) in June, first you would add an hour to the Houston time for DST, making it UTC−5, then you would subtract ­5 from +2. +2 ­ (­5) = +2 + (+5) = +7, so you would need to advance your watch by seven hours. If you were going in the opposite direction, you would subtract 2 from ­5, giving you ­7, indicating that you would need to turn your watch back seven hours.

The region is sparsely settled with an estimated 74,280 people living in more than 30 towns and villages located in and around the Forest in 2014 (Alaska Department of Labor [DOL] 2014d). The communities of Southeast Alaska depend on the Tongass National Forest in various ways, including employment in the wood products, commercial fishing and fish processing, recreation, tourism, and mining and mineral development sectors. Many residents depend heavily on subsistence hunting and fishing to

In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This document has previously been released for a 30 day public comment period. Subsequent to the public comment period, ATSDR addressed all public comments and revised or appended the document as appropriate. The health consultation has now been reissued. This concludes the health consultation process for this

Washington, D.C. 20240 [email protected] Re: Tribal Consultation Comments on the Land-Into-Trust Application Process Dear Principal Deputy Secretary Tahsuda: On December 6, 2017, you sent a Dear Tribal Leaders Letter (“December 6 DTL Letter”), announcing a revised consultation schedule for the Department of the Interior’s (“Department”) land-into-trust regulations at 25 C.F.R. Part 151.1 The December 6 DTL Letter listed a series of questions for tribal consultation. The Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (“Tlingit Haida”) appreciates the opportunity to submit these written comments in response to the Department’s questions regarding the land-into-trust regulations. The Tlingit Haida have seen first-hand the devastating impacts of land loss that resulted from the duplicity of the federal government and failed Indian policies. For the Tlingit Haida and other tribes, land restoration 1 On October 4, 2017, the Department sent a Dear Tribal Leaders Letter (“October 4 DTL Letter”) with specific proposals to change the Part 151 regulations. Tribal leaders voiced concerns over the proposed changes in the October 4 DTL Letter at an initial tribal listening session held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because the changes were proposed without tribal input and included an expedited consultation schedule. Thereafter, the Department cancelled consultation over the proposed changes.

Anthropologists use the term "Northwest Coast Culture" to define the Eyak, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian cultures, as well as that of other peoples indigenous to the Pacific coast, extending as far as northern Oregon. The Eyak, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian have a complex social system consisting of moieties, phratries and clans. Eyak, Tlingit and Haida divide themselves into moieties, while the Tsimshian divide into phratries.

Such a base station network provides the essential framework for any large gravity survey, and its precision determines the value of the geologic and geodetic interpretations that may be obtained from the gravity data. Neither the map nor the base station network have yet been completed, but preliminary release of some of the station descrip­ tions and observed gravities will provide better coordination between detailed surveys which are being initiated by other groups. Previous compilations of Alaskan gravimeter bases resulted from measurements published by Thiel, Bonini, Ostenso and Woollard (1958) and from pendulum observations by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (Rice, 1958). Many of the measurements made by Thiel and his co- corkers were later reevaluated and published as part of the international gravity network (Woollard and Rose, 1963).

  • Respect for the Tlingit Land
    Yaa at Wooneé-Lingít Aani Respect for Tlingit Land Kindergarten - Grade 12 Lesson Plans by David Katzeek Introduction For thousands of years, the Tlingit people had an educational system that taught them how to survive in an environment that was not too friendly. They had to learn how to live in harmony with the earth and all that was created. In order to accomplish this they had to develop an educations system that would help them succeed and they did. Anthropologists estimate that Tlingit people have lived in Southeast Alaska for 10,000 years or more. Their educational system was built on four primary pillars/corner posts based on the foundation of respect: •Lingít áwé wa.x’edéi kakgees.áax. You are a human being. You are to listen. The first corner post is that Tlingit people and all human beings have a very unique ability to learn to listen for a purpose. This was taught before birth by the Tlingit peo - ple and after birth untill the person learned this discipline. The reason listening is so important, note the present tense, is because it is still important to this very day. Also, there were no written books on language, science, math, literature, geology, history, geography, biology, physiology, botany, hydrology, etc. However, the Tlingit educa - tional system had knowledge of these disciplines as shown in their use of natural resources. •Lingít áwé wa.é yaakoodzigéi. You are a human being. You are Intelligent. The second corner post is that all human beings are intelligent. Acceptance is impor - tant. Human beings can learn how to learn.

Primary factors in our plan are: • Salmon-commercial and subsistence • Water temperature as it relates to Salmon survival • Algae and plankton blooms • Other subsistence products • Seaweed • Berries • Bark • Shellfish, crab and other ocean harvests • Hunting • Drought • Municipal water • Fishing • Energy • Invasive species CLIMATE PLAN DEVELOPMENT Funding Source • BIA 2015 Tribal Cooperative Landscape Conservation Program • Travel Proposal • Climate Change Planning Proposal • Genelle Winter, Climate & Energy Grant Coordinator • Applied for and received the funding • Co-authored Plan • Julia Scott, Climate Change Analyst • Initiated the Plan • Conducted interviews • Co-authored Plan • Alexis Wagner, Grant & Climate Intern • Created data charts/graphs/tables • Compiled interview data • Co-authored Plan BASED OUR GOALS AND FUNDING, THIS IS WHAT BECAME THE LAYOUT OF THE PLAN • 7.
