Message:

*The U.S. Supreme Court rejected requests from the State of Alaska legislature and the Alaska Outdoor Council to intervene in the Katie John lawsuit. The Katie John litigation relates to federal jurisdiction of fisheries management in navigable waters of the state of Alaska.

*Non-resident hunting licences, permits, harvest tickets, etc. are required for rural residents who do not fulfill the State of Alaska’s residency requirements. It also means the hunter is required to have a guide where mandated by the State, as no federal regs supersede the State regs on this issue.

*Simon Roberts (Walk Naw) and Adrian Guthrie (Daax ii Gang), the two Tlingit teens banished to remote islands of southeast Alaska for their crimes in Washington state, have been sentenced to prison. The two appear to have benefited from the experience of fending for themselves in the wilds of Alaska. Guthrie was sentenced to 2 yrs, 7 mo., and Roberts sentenced to 4 yrs, 7 mo.

*Mary Rudolph of Port Lions, was named to a three year appointment on the southeast Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Council (RAC). Patricia Phillips (Pelican), Mim Robinson (Port Alexander), and Lonnie Anderson (Kake) were also reappointed to three year terms.
