*Subsistence News is one year old.

*The Southeast Native Subsistence Commission (SENSC) has been awarded a $50,000. Historic Preservation Grant for a multi year project documenting indigenous place names throughout SE Alaska. The first phase of the project will focus on the communities of Angoon, Craig, Hoonah, Kake, Klawock, and Yakutat.

*The Southeast Regional Advisory Council (RAC) will meet in Juneau between October 5-7, and the Southcentral Regional Council (RAC) will meet in Soldotna between October 6-7. Minimally, the RAC’s will review proposed 1995-96 Federal Subsistence Hunting Regulations and deal with other issues.

*The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has recently determined that the plaintiffs in McDowell v. U.S. have no standing, and has remanded the case back to the Anchorage District Court of  H. Russell Holland. Judge Holland initially ruled that ANILCA’s rural preference meets equal protection standards under the US constitution, that Congress has ample powers to act on the issue, and that states’ rights are not impaired.
