The project centers in the south

The program consists of removing

and then resetting them on publicly
owned land within or adjacent to
existing villages.

Hyda villages, Hydaburg and new

Thlinget villages will be reset III the
modern Thlinget town of Saxman
near Ketchikan. The famous totem
of Chief johnson in Ketchikan is
also being restored.
With WPA allotment it will now be
possible, Heintzleman said, to extend
the work te include restoration of
poles in and around Wrangell and
possible to do some work on poles in
the Sitka National Monument.
Community Houses
In addition to the work on the
poles. the Forest Service is also re-
storing a number Of Indian COM
munity houses, which were an ex-
cellent example of Indian art.
Greenhouses and war canoes also
are being restored.
For the past 20 years many people
in Southeast Alaska a swell as arch
eologists from the States have been
casting about for a means of pre-
serving these historical Indian re-
lies, but for various reasons it has
not been possible until this year TO
actually start work.
One of the reasons frequently adj
vanced was the reluctance of In
dians to dedicate their poles to pub
lie use before any public agency
such as the Forest Service could per-
form work on them.
Il am happy to say we have re-
ceived excellent cooperation from
the Indians both in the matter of
donating poles to public use and in
supplying us with information on
folk lore and legends surrounding
inscriptions on the poles" the Reg
ional Forester stated.
Heintzleman said he expected the
totem pole work to be fully COM
pleted before July l.
