Tlingit Law @ your library

Thursday, October 25
6 p.m


This initiative is cooperatively supported by the Chilkoot Indian Association, Haines Borough Public Library, and a grant from the Institute

of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency that fosters innovation

leadership and lifelong learning.

This project seeks to bring the region’s rich history, cultures and traditions to life

through the creation of an interactive mapping interface. The map will consist

of traditional Tlingit place names, history and media related to the places named.

The project also seeks to foster enrichment and understanding through meetings,

forums, and discussions that promote communication and civic dialogue and

through programs  that feature the arts as a way of exchange and learning.

Join us in the creation of the Chilkat Valley Storyboard in crossing boundaries

through creative communication.

Joe Hotch will be presenting in Haines

and Marsha Hotch and John Martin will be

presenting from Juneau

(via video conference)

Join us for a discussion on Tlingit Law

Mayor Stephanie Scott

&

Haines borough Assembly

Wanted to let you know how pleasantly overwhelmed we are with the great success of our “Summit” September 27. It was wonderful to see and experience the interaction and cooperation between high level Alaska & Yukon government and industry officials. The Summit Started with video’s of support from Senator Mark Begich and Congressman Don Young. There is also a letter of support from Senator Lisa Murkowsi.

The afternoon of the 27^th we took the Captain’s Choice Bus full of Summit guests out to the port. Surprisingly many of the out of town guests had no idea how big and how much there is to our port. Having knowledge of the full port had a very positive effect on our guests. Those who had been very skeptical of our port became very positive.

In the evening during the Summit, Haines Borough Manager Mark Ernest commented publicly that he has been meeting with our guests for about two years. That being the case raises concerns as to why our guests did not know about all the port facilities. Till just lately the Northern Economics report about our port and it’s future seemed to be centered on only the borough’s Lutak Dock.

Do take note Haines Port Development Council’s web site has included all the port facilities since day one. In all correspondence with interested parties all the port facilities have been and will be included.

Our port has a wonderful future if we work together. We do have to understand the differences between the publicly owned and operated facilities and those facilities that are privately owned. The borough owned facilities belong to ALL of us and need to be operated in the interest of ALL of us.



Thank you;

Haines Port Development Council Board

Summit Preliminary Report

We are over whelmed with the success of the Summit. Many thanks to all who participated. We gathered at the Captain’s Choice Motel where most of our out of town guests were staying. Just after 3pm we boarded the bus and toured ALL the Haines Port facilities. Several of our guests had no idea that there was more to our port than the Lutak Dock.

We rode out on the Lutak Dock property got out of the bus to look it over. Borough manager Mark Ernest gave a short talk about the Lutak Dock features, harbor master Phil Benner gave some details also. The Al Shafer property was pointed out just west of the Lutak Dock. We then boarded the bus and went to the Chilkoot Lumber property. Larry Beck pointed out many of the property features including the ore terminal foundation and floor. Our guests seemed surprised at the size and features of the property. We then rode out to Chilkoot Lake so our guests could see some of our beautiful community.

We then rode back to the motel. There was constant conversations about our port and it’s opportunities.

At the motel we used the lounge to compare notes as we waited for time to go to supper. Most chose to go to the American Legion for their hamburger feed. Mark Ernest and Darsie Culbeck invited several of our guests to go to dinner with them as guests of the Haines Borough at the Klondike restaurant.

The hamburger feed ran a bit late but was good. We got the Summit started a bit after 7pm. Council board member Dave Berry started the Summit by having the congressional delegation video’s shown. The internet connection failed before we could show the letter from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Randall Ruaro called in from governor Parnell’s office and gave his words of encouragement, he was able to stay on line to listen to the rest of the Summit. With Dave Nanny’s help Assembly member Debra Schnabel gave the Haines Borough presentation.

Then we got into the meat of the Summit by having each of our out of town guests introduce them selves, explain who they represent and what we can do together to use the port. The we moved to our local guests to do the same. That brought us to the interesting part where there was great interaction, questions & answers between the participants. Then it was opened up to the public, there were several questions and comments. The Summit was closed a bit after 9pm. People gathered in little groups of mutual interest. Some stayed till almost 11pm.

Friday morning several of us went on the bus ride out to the port again to look at things that had been discussed at the Summit to get a better understanding.

A little before noon our guests who were able to stay went to the American Bald Eagle Foundation for the Haines Chamber of Commerce luncheon. There our guests were able to meet and interact with many of the Haines business community. All seemed interested in how the port could help the Haines economy. During lunch we did the same format as the Summit and had our guests introduce themselves and talk about what they do. There were a few questions and answers.

Judging by the many thanks we council members got it was an overwhelming success. We want to thank all who came and made it a success. We are very grateful to the American Legion, Chamber of Commerce and American Bald Eagle Foundation.
