NORTH STAR
 AWARD
TUNDRA TlMEs

The village of Point Hope, in the far northwestern part of Alaska, has come to be known as one of the most progressive Eskimo communi- ties in Alaska This has not come about by accident and the credit must go to the caliber of men elect ed as leaders of the village.
 During the past several years one such leader has been Daniel Lis bourne, president of the village council He has dcne outstanding service for his community.
 Lisbourne is the kind of a lead CT who has shown genuine con- cern for his people. Through his astute leadership, his community's economy has continued to improve. One example of this has been his careful choice of appointing an out standing store manager, John Oktol- lik. Through Oktollik's manager ship, the Point Hope Native Store has completely paid off its loan. The store has continually shown substantial profits year after year.
 Lisbourne has gained the respect of his fellow villagers by fighting to keep out nonresident commer- cial interests that might exploit the village, but has encouraged local businesses and community enter prises.
 He has proposed community pro- jects one of which was to build sea wall to protect the village from heavy northwest storms that have flooded the village and eaten away large sections of the north bank. Lisbourne has received an approval from Governor William A. Egan, for this proposal.
 Community pride and spirit has been his concern also. He has seen that historical monuments and an cient sites are well cared for.
 Besides doing numerous other services for his village, Lisbourne is president of the Alaska Native Industries Cooperative Association (ANICA) and has served that or ganization well. He has been a BIA school maintenance man for many years and has received the rare cash award for outstanding achievement on that job.
 And so to Daniel Lisbourne, presi- dent of the Village Council of Point Hope. for his unselfish and out standing service to his community, for his continuing efforts to inn prove it, goes the Tundra Times twentyfifth North Star Award along with our wishes for continued suc- cess and our congratulations.

Papers all inc United States last week appar- emily thought amusing and quaint when they goDbed up inc Associated Press release that sounded very much like, Hey ook those Eskimo high school students are getting big break in getting much radiation because they attend school away from home and eating white mans food"
 That kind of journalistic hi-inks, we think, will nor set well with inc Eskimo parents at home; whose food sources are being contaminated by white mems war weapons.

Legislation in Congress Soon To Settle Native Rights, Claims

Bills will soon be introduced in Congress to settle Alaska native rights and claims.
 So spoke Robert L. Bennett, area director of the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs, to delegates of B villages at the recent Interior Indian Confer ence at Panama.
 In making the announcement which has since appeared in the general press, Bennett confirmed an exclusive story in the May 6 issue of the Tundra Times.
 Bennett said that the Department of Interior had drafted bill which Secretary of Interior Udall will submit to the two committees of Congress, the Senate and House Committees on Interior and Insular affairs.
 He said the staffs of the two con- mittees would study the bills, which would be identical, make whatever changes they felt necessary, and then the bills would be introduced in Congress. = - r.

 "The reason why you are here and why you have problems is be- cause changes are taking place among you," Bennett said.
 Some of these changes are brought about by your own desires, your own needs and some of these

INTRODUCTION

Last year, for the first time since 1913, the Athabascan Chiefs and Delegates of Interior Alaskan will lases met at Panama. They consid- cred many problems which vitally affected their way of life and their economy.
 Again this year the villages have met to consider these problems and work toward their solutions.
 The serious problems that existed then are not yet solved.
 The principal problem facing our people concerns our land. In the past year the Alaska Task Force of the Interior Department has stated that natives in Alaska should be granted only small areas of land.
 We strongly disagree with the statement because from time imme- morial we have required large areas of land for our livelihood and will continue to require such areas.
 LANDS
 While certain provisions of the Alaska Task Force Report relating to native lands are reasonable, the Dena sNena Henash does not feel the Task Force recommendations on land are adequate. Recommendations
 The Dena Nena Henash urges:
 l. That the Native Allotment Act should be more effectively imple- mented for the benefit of the na- tives to allow the natives to receive title to their composites and their hunting, gathering, and fishing sites, as we'll as to their homesites in sev- eral allotments, if desired, instead of single tract of land. It further urges that consideration be given to increasing the size of native al- 1otments from 16O acres to a size that will more nearly meet the needs of the native people of Alas ka.
 2. The need for authority to lease and otherwise develop. for the bene- fit of the natives, some of the lands included in the tribal claims al- ready reserved for them and to ex- tend this authority to future with drawals for their benefit.
 3. That the United States does not divest itself of it's title to the State of Alaska or any division thereof until the natives gain title to their ancestral lands.
 4. We recommend that Congress define the aboriginal land rights of the natives and to establish for 1lm in which their claims may be heard.
 5. That Congressional hearings be

training for jobs involved in pre- pairing for and building the Ram part Dam Projects and economic opportunities provided by the dam immediately. Also that it under- take studies of economic develop ment which might benefit the na- tives. and that assistance be given to individuals and villages in finling claims for land now occupied, and if that is flooded; then for substi- tute land, for example, lakeshore areas.
 | We further request that heavy Equipment be sent to the villages to provide training in the opera tion and maintenance of the equip ment and at the same time use this equipment be sen to the villages
 HUNTING AND FISHING
 Most Natives of Alaska today. ex- ist by hunting and fishing through out the year. The hunting situation has been getting more difficult as the years go by. The reason is that the game laws are regulated in such a way SO that open season for certain animals are punched to- gether into a short period of time.
 In the State of Alaska moose season opens on August 20. While the meat is good at that time of year, there is no way of keeping it from spelling because most villages have no refrigeration. When the weather gets cold enough, moose can be taken in November, but the meat is not fit to eat because of the mating season.
 We would like to have the laws changed so we can hunt moose by use of game tags isued and con- trolied by the village council so we could take our moose when needed.
 During springtime there is us- usally a shortage of meat. It is the time of the year when ducks begin to migrate, and we are not allow ed to take them. We should be all lowed to take them as we need them. Each village should be al- lowed to fix it's season because they know best when to take animals without wastage.
 License fees for fishWheels and small boats to haul fish from fish, wheels should not be applicable to Interior Alaska. Fish are not pro- cured in sufficient numbers to war rant the license fees charged.
 We recommend that villages in each unit form Fish and Game Ad- visory Committees to state their recommendation to the State Fish and Game Department.
 The Dena Nena Henash Confer ence has found that Metlakatla fish traps are not detrimental to the conservation of fish. The economy of Metlakatla would be destroyed if the fish traps were lost to this community. We recommend that fish traps be retained.
 EDUCATION
 Whereas the schools administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs are not suitably situated for the children in the Interior except at great cost The probable number of students who would enter such a school number at least 5O0
 Whereas in connection with such school supervised dormitories and boarding facilities will be needed.
 Whereas the school should be both academic and vocational with standards equivalent to that of state schools.
Tundra times., 1963-06-17

held in Alaska concerning any le- gislation affecting land claims.
 LABOR AND ECONOMICS The Native People of Alaska should have the jobs in their will lages for which they are qualified, and train those who are not.
 Government contractors, Federal State Agencies should hire native labor where there are qualified equipment operators, common or skilled labor.
 The best job in the villages is the job of post master. It pays about $4 GOO per year. We, think it should belong to Native. We have educat- ed boys and girls who can handle the post office job. Financial aid for commercial fishery for the Yukon River Valley. Specific training in business for such ventures. Survey of other pos abilities, such as lumber.
 We also want to know what is being done about the Task Force and Socio-Economic recommenda- tions for this year as they stated.
 These are the recommendations of the Labor and Economies Com mittee and it shall be followed up by letter to the Governor of Alaska, Senator Bartlett, Senator Gruen ing, and Representative Rivers. RAMPART DAM COMMITTEE
 REPORT
 The Dena Nena Henash requests the Corp of Engineers to include in their cost analysis of Rampant Dam, the value of intangibles and income producing values of land now in use and occupancy and claimed by villages and natives af- fected by the dam site, as we'll as the cost of relocation of villages and acquisition of substitute lands. Maps of areas claimed and oc- cupied will be furnished subse- quently.
 In the event Rampant Dam is built, Venetie wants their reserva- tion extended in the amount flood ed by the resulting lake. They also want their village relocated to site of their choosing and wish to use labor from the villages to re- build the village.
 Chalkyitsik wants to relocate their village to site of their own choosing which includes land equi- valent to, or of equal value to the hunting, trapping, and fishing areas now claimed by them which would be flooded by the dam. They also wish to use local village labor in rebuilding.
 We request the BIA to provide
