SE Holding Hearings on Sealaska Land Bid

Staff with the U.S. Senate Natural Resources Committee is in Southeast last week taking public testimony on the Sealaska Native Corporation’s effort to complete its land selection. Meanwhile, the small community of Port Protection on Northern Prince of Wales Island is opposing the Sealaska Native Corporation’s effort to select land on that part of the island and wants U.S. senators to come to Southeast Alaska and hear their input.
