Engaging in the Roadless Rule
HIA has been actively working with the Forest Service and regional tribes as a cooperating agency on the Alaska Specific Roadless Rule. This has been a difficult process and we have appreciated being at the table to continually advocate for our community’s needs. You can review some of HIA’s work to the process here : https://www.hia-env.org/2019/10/30/hia-and-five-southeast-alaska-tribes-condemn-the-roadless-rulemaking-process/

I had no idea that Hoonah Indian Association had so many projects and programs, what drew my attention was a article about the water sheds and streams around us that was being worked on, I also saw one of the streams that the trees were put into, the trees themselves were pretty big. Enjoyed reading this page and finding out all that going on, great.
