Affirmed. 1. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Permits--Public Lands: Special Use Permits--Special Use Permits The Bureau of Land Management has discretion under 43 U.S.C. § 1732(b) (1994) and 43 C.F.R.

There must be a compelling reason for modification or reversal of an exercise of this discretionary authority.

  • 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.

  • NORTHERN TRANSMISSION LINE of the SOUTHEAST INTERTIE and DOCK ELECTRIFICATION for NORTHERN LYNN CANAL COMMUNITIES-SKAGWAY, HAINES, JUNEAU
    NORTHERN TRANSMISSION LINE OF THE SOUTHEAST INTERTIE and DOCK ELECTRIFICATION FOR NORTHERN LYNN CANAL COMMUNITIES-SKAGWAY, HAINES, JUNEAU Description. The Northern Transmission Line (NTL). A high voltage 138 kV and 69 kV transmission line that interconnects Skagway, Haines, and Juneau for Energy Security, Energy Reliability, and Resilience to support sustainable economies of Northern Southeast Alaska. Purpose and Need. The Purpose of the NTL is to create an integrated transmission grid for northern Lynn Canal communities to transfer locally developed electricity between the communities to optimize renewable energy resources, drive down energy costs, open economic opportunities and to create value to the interconnected communities and their industries. Time is Now. Background. Envisioned in 1997, and passed into Public Law in 2000 to create a Southeast Intertie from Ketchikan to Skagway. PL 105-511 authorized $384M for a 25-year plan for interconnecting existing and planned power generation sites with a high voltage electrical intertie serving the communities of the region. The time is now to build the next phase of the SE Intertie to serve northern Lynn Canal communities. The NTL is a fully permitted and construction-ready high voltage transmission line infrastructure to span Skagway, Haines, and Juneau with substations and overhead and submarine transmission segments to serve these communities for the next century. Benefits. • Creates family-wage jobs now to supplement the Alaska economy circulating federal and private infrastructure dollars by building keystone energy infrastructure. • Upgrades and replaces impaired Skagway to Haines undersea transmission cable. • Future proof the Northern Lynn Canal economies and opens up more trade opportunities between communities and with Yukon.

  • Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2020 Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia The month of October is a reminder of the tragic sinking of the SS Princess Sophia on October 25, 1918 one hundred and two years ago. The Victoria-based ship transported passengers up the coast to Skagway, Alaska stopping at several coastal communities along the way. The shipwreck is the largest marine disaster along the northwest coast of North America and resulted in the unfortunate loss of everyone on board. David Leverton, Executive Director of the Maritime Museum of BC has had an active interest in the marine disaster for many years and has co-authored a book with Judy Thompson that looks at the shipwreck and the background of the known passengers and crew who were onboard at the time of the sinking.i Mr. Leverton stated that, "the 100th Anniversary commemorating this event helped to increase public awareness about the story and we still continue to learn more about the mystery of what happened including the story surrounding the fate of the lone dog that was known to have survived the disaster." 634 HUMBOLDT ST., VICTORIA, BC, V8W 1A4 | 250-385-4222 | mmbc.bc.ca Several months after the tragic sinking, The Alaska Daily Empire on Thursday, March 6, 1919, reported that a small dog had been found two days after the shipwreck covered in oil in Tee Harbor which is about 20 miles away and that it had been living at the nearby Auk Bay Cannery. On March 14, 1919, The Alaska Daily Empire reported that the dog had been positively identified as a thoroughbred English Setter belonging to Captain James Alexander and his wife Louisa.

  • The Tlingit Map of 1869
    The TlingiT Map of 1869 A MAsterwork of IndIgenous CArtogrAphy By John Cloud n july 1869, george davidson of the US Coast Survey and a small party of men climbed into several large cedar boats on the shore of Sitka, Alaska. The fleet was com- manded by the celebrated Tlingit clan leader Kohklux; they were bound for his village of Klukwan, the capital of the Tlingit Indians of the Chilkat River valley at the head Iof the Lynn Canal. The travelers paddled as rapidly as pos- sible, for they had a great cosmic appointment: on August 8, a total eclipse of the sun would sweep across the mountains and glaciers of the Chilkat valley. Davidson was to observe that eclipse, whatever it took to get there. As it happened, what it took was the friendship that developed between Davidson and Kohklux and his two wives, who were sisters from the Stikine River Tlingits. After the eclipse, these four people made a great exchange between themselves, to honor their experience. It came to pass that, 141 years later, a surrogate from that exchange finally returned to Klukwan. In August of 2010, Marsha Hotch, a Tlingit of Klukwan and a professor Above, Marsha in the Native Languages Program at the University of Alaska Hotch (left) and Southeast, and her linguist colleague Alice Taff, viewed a digi- Alice Taff examine a replica copy of tal image of the remarkable map of the Chilkat Tlingit world the Kohklux map at drawn by Kohklux and his wives for George Davidson. the home of Kathy To give context to this story for Expedition readers, it and Bill Ruddy, near Juneau, Alaska.

Florence Shotridge: A Woman, Tlingit, and Museum Educator Guide Abstract This project aims to tell the life history of a Tlingit woman named Florence Shotridge (1882-1917) through both a written essay and a short film. Florence’s husband, Louis Shotridge, is a well-known Tlingit ethnographer and collector, but much of his work in his early career was done in collaboration with Florence - yet she is not often mentioned in these early years of his work. Her life story requires a deep understanding of the social organization, geography, names and naming, and regalia in Tlingit culture and society. These cultural values played a large role in the work she produced as a Chilkat weaver, volunteer Educator Guide at the Penn Museum, and anthropologist on the Shotridge Expedition. Her work has been neglected in comparison to her husband’s contributions, but much of his start in the field is thanks ot Florence’s English speaking and Chilkat weaving skills. In addition to this paper that lays out the social contexts of her time, I have created an accompanying short film which aims ot breathe new life into Florence’s story and to be shared widely in order to ensure her life and legacy extend beyond the periphery of the Penn Museum and the Tlingit community.
