Krug Gives 101,000
Acres To Village
Of Hydaburg
■
WASHINGTON, </P) — Expan
i sion of the existing land reserves
| of the native village of Hydaburg,
Alaska, by 101,000 acres was pro
| claimed yesterday by secretary of
■ the interior Krug.
The interior department an
nounced that the proclamation
sets up facilities for clearing land
titles in Southeastern Alaska and
provides that all income from vil
lage land will be deposited to the
i credit of the municipality for ex
penditure by the Indians without
interior department supervision.
The proclamation will not be
come final until the natives ratify
it by secret ballot. Sixty days will
be allowed for filing of written
objections to Krug’s action.
“Increased self-governing au
thority granted the Indians will
greatly benefit their economy and
follows established policy,” the
department said. “The proclama
tion will aid in clearing any
doubts as to the ownership of tim
ber in the Tongass forest where
lumber and pulp industries are
proposed.”
The land involved, the depart
ment said, is part of a much larg
area described in the 101,000
acres. This will ratify the rights of
third parties to enter any of the
lands claimed in the Indian’s 1944
presentation, except those award
ed under the proclamation.”
The proclamations allows the
forest service to manage the tim
ber resources within the reserve,
er area used by the natives prior
to settlement of the Territory by
white person#. Since 1939 the na
tives have sought enlargement of
their reserves and in June, 1944,
presented a claim to some 900,000
acres. Subsequent hearings proved
the Indians had abandoned some
i of their claim but affirmed their
