New legislation could give hundreds of thousands of Tongass acres to native corporations.

Sealaska Bill

Senator Murkowski and U.S. Rep. Don Young introduced “revised” Sealaska bills (S. 881 and H.R 2099), on April 23, 2009, with Senator Begich co-sponsoring the Senate legislation. 

The “revised” bills fail to address major public concerns and comments raised with earlier versions of the bill. The Alaska Delegation needs to hear from you that this bill misses the mark.  We need to see a balanced approach that addresses all the needs of the forest.

Write a letter to the editor, call or send a message to Senator Murkowski today!

When sounds travel far and wide,

A stormy day will betide.

Chimney smoke descends, our nice weather ends.

If smoke hovers low near the ground it is likely to rain.
