Glacier Bay Administrative History

Endnotes

Introduction

1 Canyon de Chelly and Navajo national monuments in Arizona were two significant exceptions in the matter of land title. Indians have claimed treaty hunting rights in several national parks, including Mount Rainier, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Olympic, but in no instance outside Alaska was hunting by Indians in a national park area given sanction by the NPS. Indian-NPS relations in the continental United States are the subject of a work in progress by Michael F. Turek and Robert H. Keller, Jr.

Chapter I

¹ John Muir, Travels in Alaska (Boston, 1915), p.152. Muir juxtaposed this natural beauty with the dirtiness of Alaska towns in his journal. Fort Wrangell was "squalid" and "boggy." Sitka had "a rusty, decaying look...cannon lying in the streets sinking like boulders in mud; dirty Indians loafing about; everybody of any character away at the mines or out a-fishing." Linnie Marsh Wolfe, ed., John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir (Boston, 1938), pp.257, 259. See also Michael P. Cohen, The Pathless Way: John Muir and American Wilderness (Madison, Wisconsin, 1984), pp.182-190.

⁴⁶ Historian Francis Jennings uses this term in The Invasion of America: Indians, Colonialism, and the Cant of Conquest (1975) to describe seventeenth century New England, where he estimates a full century elapsed before the human population (indigens and colonists combined) recovered from the number lost to disease when Indians first came in contact with Europeans. While national parklands became "widowed" by a very different historical process, involving not so much death by disease as removal by military force and economic necessity, there was no difference from an ecological standpoint.

⁴⁷ See for example Robert Marshall, "Ecology and the Indians," Ecology, vol.18, no.1 (January 1937): pp.159-161. Marshall contends that aboriginal peoples lived "in balance with nature" and had a "benign" effect due to their small population.

⁵⁰ Records of the ANB are preserved in two collections, the William L. Paul Papers at the University of Washington and the Curry-Weissbrodt Papers at the Alaska Historical Library, but the writer found nothing in those collections dated earlier than the 1930s. The Alaska Fisherman covers the activities of the ANB from 1924 to 1932. The ANB's interest in Tlingit aboriginal rights bore fruit in 1935 when Congress authorized the Tlingit and Haida Indians to bring suit against the U.S. in the Court of Claims.

Chapter II

¹ Muir and Young were not the first Americans to visit Glacier Bay. In 1868, the U.S. Revenue Steamer Wayanda under the command of John W. White navigated Icy Strait and Glacier Bay with the guidance of a Russian pilot, Cadin. Chief engineer J.A. Doyle recounted the crew's harrowing experience in Glacier Bay thirty-five years later for the Alaska Boundary Tribunal: "While in Glacier Bay the ship at one time got aground and was for a time in considerable danger from large masses of ice which were floating by. Before the tide arose to release us from our predicament a number of Indian canoes came in sight, and to illustrate to the natives the fact that the ship could still take good care of herself, although temporarily unable to move, a number of shells were fired from the 24-pounder howitzers at the floating icebergs. The bursting of the shells appeared to frighten the people in the canoes, and certainly greatly impressed two native chiefs whom we had taken on board for passage to Sitka." See Senate, Proceedings of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, vol. 2, 58th Cong., 2d sess., 1904, Senate Doc. No. 162, pp.474-475. In 1877, Lieutenant C.E.S. Wood, on leave from his ship at Sitka, went goat hunting in the Saint Elias Mountains, crossed into the Glacier Bay basin, and hired some Native seal hunters to transport him back to Sitka by canoe. See Wood, "Among the Thlinkits in Alaska," pp.323-339.

Hinckley writes: "Of all the seamen engaged in the Panhandle tourist traffic, Captain Carroll was undoubtedly the most notorious. His reputation for dodging liquor smuggling indictments matched his renown for skirting reefs and shoals. Once when it appeared that the United States might abandon Alaska, he grandiloquently tried to buy the territory."

The proposal to moor a retired passenger ship in Glacier Bay for tourist accommodations probably originated with Ernest Gruening, then director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions. Gruening explored the idea further in the last quarter of 1938, but none of the ships under consideration were deemed adequate. The cost of these ships varied from $10,000 to $40,000 with refurbishing to run as high as $65,000. The ships were selected primarily for the number of staterooms, and might have accommodated from 142 to 254 guests. William G. McAdoo to Harold L. Ickes, October 5, 1938, Ernest Gruening to J.R.

¹¹ Ise, Our National Park Policy, pp.447-52. Cutbacks in the Civilian Conservation Corps also changed the picture, as Been had hoped to establish a CCC camp at Sandy Cove to build the facilities. This site had an advantage over the CCC camp at Mount McKinley National Park in that in could be an all-season camp. Been thought a 200-man camp could accomplish the work in two years. But the high cost of transport to Alaska and program cutbacks forestalled it. Frank T. Been to Ernest Gruening, December 2, 1940 and Newton B.

³ In the first Park Service report on this issue, "Special Report on the Hunting Rights of the Hoonah Natives in Glacier Bay National Monument," by Lowell Sumner, August 5, 1947, (p.3) the author cites an agreement of May 14, 1946 (?) and the subsequent meeting of December 10-11, 1946 as the "background" to the controversy. This foreshortened perspective was reproduced uncritically in Bruce W. Black's administrative history of the monument (1957, p.85) and again in "A Special Report Containing Information Required for Legislation to Redesignate Glacier Bay as a National Park," September 30, 1964, p.8.

⁷ Hoonah Tlingits did press for clarification of their privileges in Glacier Bay from time to time after 1939 (without result) but a strong indication that this was not a priority is the fact that the Hoonah local camp No.12 of the Alaska Native Brotherhood raised the issue one time between 1939 and the end of World War II. Resolution No.16, passed by the ANB on November 13, 1940, called for Park Service recognition of Hoonah Tlingit hunting and fishing rights in Glacier Bay.

²⁹ Evidence that Hoonah Tlingits engaged in these subsistence activities at the head of Excursion Inlet comes from the statements taken by Haas and Goldschmidt in 1946. Haas and Goldschmidt listed this area as one of five where Hoonah Tlingit resource gathering had been consistent enough to provide the basis for a claim of "possessory rights" to the area.

³¹ Some Tlingits argued against fish traps on conservationist grounds, convinced that they were reducing the salmon run from year to year and inexorably ruining the industry. This argument dovetailed the other. But there was not unanimity: some Tlingits who worked in canneries did not want fish traps abolished because they feared it would hurt the canneries and eliminate jobs.

⁵² Been became fully acquainted with local white attitudes toward Natives during his reconnaissance of the monument with Earl A. Trager in the summer of 1939. Horace Ibach, a resident of Dundas Bay, applied to Been later that year for a ranger appointment. Been's reply is not preserved, but it prompted a second letter from Ibach in which he expounded at length on his view that Native hunting and fishing rights discriminated against white Alaskans.

Ironically, Harbeson does not seem to have been too law abiding himself. He told Been and Trager in 1939 that he had trapped in the area for several years, yet his name does not appear on a list of trapping permit applicants in the Icy Strait area for 1937-38. Moreover, on Been's return visit in 1940, Harbeson avoided him and Been found evidence at his cabin that he had been poaching bears. Frank T. Been field notes, July 28, 1940, DENA, William E.

Bronson of the National Congress of American Indians as follows: "For many years, the natives have been permitted to hunt hair seals while in the waters of the national monument, and from vantage points on land within 100 feet of the water. Permission was also granted on January 7, 1947, for the natives to carry rifles having a bore not smaller than .30 caliber for the purpose of self-protection while engaged in picking berries within appropriate localities in the Monument." Letter dated March 14, 1947, same file as above.

⁷⁰ Frank Sinclair's statement on wolves is of interest: "The coyotes and wolves have killed all of the foxes and are killing the mountain goats. There are very few mountain goats left. In two cases during the last few years we have seen wolves and coyotes kill twelve mountain goats at one time and two mountain goats at another time. The wolves spot the mountain goats on the ridge and wait for them to come up the ridge and push them over the steep cliffs from the side, and then go down below to feed on their carcasses."

Streveler, "Wolf Predation on Mountain Goats in Southeastern Alaska," Journal of Mammalogy, vol.67, no.1 (February 1986): pp.192-195.

Black also states that the Hoonah Tlingits' privileges in the monument were "brought up for review in the fall of 1953."

¹⁸ Park Service officials often maintained that the airfield gave the Gustavus community a new lease on life, and that the homesteaders were staying put mainly for the speculative value of their land holdings. Even an impartial "agricultural reconnaissance" of the area by three government scientists in 1954 reached the same conclusion. "Recent Alaskan homesteading history shows that less than one in four homesteaders has any intention of farming. Present promotion of industrialization for Southeastern Alaska increases the speculative interest in any strategically located area." Hugh A. Johnson, Neil E. Michaelson, and George A. Woodruff, "Agricultural Reconnaissance Report Gustavus Area, Alaska," typescript at GLBA, library collection, October 1, 1954, p.10.

However, wilderness advocates found the Park Service's land classification scheme to be overly detailed and rigorous, with the result that the agency's wilderness recommendations to Congress were slow and disappointingly narrow.
