Village Across Inlet
s
The village of Nondalton last
week received the first award ever
presented in Alaska for outstand
ing service in the protection of
valuable resources from fire on
the Public Lands of the United
Stales. This was the second such
award in the whole Nation.
The appreciation award was
presented to the president of the
village council, Nick Balluta,
by dames VV. Scott, Fire
Control Officer for the Bur
eau of 1/and Management, and
Dennis E, Hess, Chief, Branch of
Protection.
Accompanying the framed cer
tificate was a letter from BLM
State Director Roger R. Robinson,
which stated in part-: “Under the
leadership of Gabriel Trefon and
successive village chiefs, the men
and women of Nondalton have, on
numerous occasions during the
past 15 years, fought wildfire
with exceptional skill, aggression
and courage. Furthermore, no
man-caused fires have occurred
on lands occupied by Nondalton
people. This record is noteworthy
evidence of their continued efforts
to prevent wildfire.”
Nondalton is a clean, pictures
que fishing village occupied by
some 340 Athabascan Indians. The
village, nestles on the northeast
shore of Sixmile Lake between
Iliamna Lake and Lake Clark
across Cook Inlet from the Kenai
Peninsula. The only access is by
boat or plane.
In presenting the award, Scott
commended the village on its neat
appearance, progressive attitude,
and fine spirit of cooperation. It
is one of the best kept villages
in Alaska, Scott said.
To allow for future growth and
development, Nondalton has filed
for a 160-acre townsite from the
Bureau of Land Management. Ac
cording to George Gustafson,
townsite trustee for BLM, the vil
lage residents will receive full
title to the land as soon as pro
per surveys have been completed.
Although many of the dwellings
ate log cabins built in the 1940’s,
the village has an exceptionally
good school house built last sum
mer by the- Bureau of Indian Af
fairs. About 60 students attend
the .school. V
