"I want life for my people, m
death."
These are the words .if Pan
Tiulana. a d< le • .*• from Kipp Is
land at the recent Inupiat Pain,
meeting at Kotzebue.
Tiulana stressed that hi- peopl
want wr\ mneh to move thei
viF . v to a new location. Can
Wooley. about 45 miles west o
N- and f>5 miles north of Kin.
Island
H. cited several reasons for th
proposed mow including the on
portiuiity of havim a school fo
Kir. : I- wd c! ’dr- r; 1 r ; ww
ing. :i create' av;';!..hi:l‘> of same
better transportation, and an im
povoi 1 economy.
Kin Island was struck witl
tuber ulosis several years aim am
many of the p- ople were hospital
izod. he said. After they recovered
they r, turned t>> Kim: Island when
they contacted the dis--a.se again.
"I-'.'.n : i- very hard on the is
land and doctor* have advised u
not to co hack but to stay near j
hosmtal where we can act porindit
checkups,” Tiulana said.
Another reason many of the Kin.
Islanders stay . t Nome instead o
returning to the island in winter i:
to send their children to school
In 1958 the BIA school was con
demned as its foundation was be
ginning to sink and there wa
danger from occasional rock slides
Another reason the King Island
ers want to move to Cape Woolen
is for economic reasons. At Cap.
Wooley there is a level stretch o
ground beside the proposed sit
that would be ideal for an airstrip
The site is also located less tha
two miles from the Nome-Telle
Road.
According to Tiulana, the gam
at King Island is quite plentiful
There are seals, polar bear, walrus
crabs, ducks and fish.
The King Islanders would like
some assistance in procuring build
ing supplies. They plan to obtain
some timbers and driftwood for
constructing their homes. They
want to lay out streets, have s
townsite surveyed, and try to in
stall a good water and sewage dis
posal system. A BIA or state schoo
obviously would be built there.
At the Inupiat Paitot meeting a
Kotzebue, BIA officials promisee
they would aid Tiulana and th<
King Islanders to settle in the nev
location. Already the new site ha;
been staked out and moves ar<
being made to cut through govern
ment red tape so that work can b.
started next summer on construe
ing the new village that is th.
King Islanders’ hope for a bette
life.
It was Logan Pearsall Smitl
who observed, ‘‘When they com
downstairs from their ivory tow
ers, idealists are apt to w a 11
straight into the gutter.”

Fisheries Meet:
Japanese Dcanand
To l i^li Halibut
Is Storsm Topic
SEATTLE T - The eontrover
sial North Pacific Fisheries Treaty
line is tint an issue at this year's
International North Pacific Fisher
y's Commission meeting, informed
sources said yesti'fday.
At past annual sessions the de
marcation line at 175 degrees west
longitude lias been one of the
stormiest tonics on the agent,a.
But at the week-long, closed
door meeting going on here now
the big wrangle is reported to be
over Japanese demands for the
rigid to fish for North American
halibut.
Japan is said to be contending
that the halibut stocks no longer
qualify for "abstention" under
terms of the tripartite treaty sign
ed m 1953 by Japan, Canada and
the United States.
This provision requires among
other things that a nation reserv
ing, a fisheries resource to itself
must fully utilize the stock. Japan
holds this is not being done with
naiibut, particularly in the Bering
Sea. The U.S. must prove its ab
stention case each year.
A spokesman for the American
section of the commission said
the showdown is expected Satur
day at the final session.
I he treaty-line issue did not
come up at this year's meeting,
a source said, because it has been
referred to the three signatory
nations for interpretation of the
treaty language and the govern
ments have not replied.
The United States wants the line
moved farther west to give better
protection to migrating Bristol Bay
red salmon, which the U.S. says
mingle with Asian stocks caught
by the Japanese.
Japan contends scientific find
ings have failed to support the
I U.S. position.
I Observers close to the situation
I said the commission sessions are
: producing mounting evidence that
Japan will move next spring or
summer for re-negotiation of the
entire 10-year-old North Pacific
Treaty.
