To the President of the

The Alaska Native Brotherhood
In Convention Assembled:
We, the members of Hoon
ah Camp No. 12, Alaska Native
Brotherhood, do respectfully re
present that:
Dundas Bay is one of the prin
cipal spawning grounds for sock
eye and Cohoe salmon and that
the use of gill nets in the rivers
of that area are sadly depleting
the supply of red salmon. We
therefore earnestly request the
Grand Camp of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood to petition the
Bureau of Fisheries to close
Dundas Bay to all commercial
hshing.
Respectfully submitted,
David Charles, President,
Tvlathew Lawrence, Secretary.

tions Committee, it is ordered
that the above resolution be
adopted by the Grand Camp, on
this 25th day of November, 1929
at Haines, Alaska.
RELATIVE TO ILLEGAL TRAPS
-x
Whereas, There are two traps
on the West Coast of Prince of
Wales Island, approximately 14
miles northwest of Klawock, Al
aska, which are within the limits
set by the law for closed areas,
and
Whereas, these traps fishing
illegally have caused the little
salmon stream in between them
to become practically barren of
salmon within the last few years,
and are on the way to depletion
of other nearby streams,
Therefore, Be It Resolved, that
copies of this resolution be sent
to the Honorable Robert P. La
mont, Secretary of Commerce,
and to the Honorable Dan A.
Sutherland, Delegate ta Con
gress from Alaska.
Adopted this 25th day of No
vember. 1029, by the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood.
TAKU RIVER “DEAD LINE”
-o
On motion and argument by
the Douglas Camp of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood, it seems to
this convention that the inter
est of Conservation in the Taku
River Fishing District will be
fully served by the following
regulations:
1. That the season for fishing
be closed in the Taku River
yearly, except from May tenth to
September thirtieth.
2. That the weekly season be
closed Saturday and Sunday of
each week.
Be It Resolved That these re
commendations be endorsed by
this Grand Convention of the
Alaska Native Brotherhood, and
that copies be sent to the Honor
able Robert P. Lament, Secre
tary of Commerce; and the Hon
orable Dan A. Sutherland, Dele
gate to Congress for Alaska.
Adopted this 25th day of No
\ ember 1929 at Haines, Alaska by
the Alaska Native Brotherhood
in Grand Convention.
TAKU “DEAD LINE”
Whereas, the dead line on the
Stikine River is seven miles from
its real mouth and seems to be
satisfactory to both the Bureau
of Fisheries and the fishermen,
and
Whereas, the Taku River is of
the same size and of the same
character as the Stikine River
with this disadvantage, the
Taku glacier is right in the river
and makes it dangerous to fish
under present regulations.
Therefore, Be It Resolved That
the regulations now applying to
the Stikine River ‘dead line’ be
applied to the Taku River, and
Be It Further Resolved That
copies of this resolution be sent
to the Honorable Robert P. La
mont, Secretary of Commerce,
and to the Honorable Dan A.
Sutherland, Delegate to Con
gress for Alaska.
Adopted this 25th day of No
vember 1929, at Haines, Alaska,
by the Alaska Native Brother
hood in Grand Convention.
HERRING FISHERIES
-x
Whereas, The citizens of the
Southeastern part of Alaska de
pend upon the catching of king
salmon by trolling to a very
large extent and is a very sub
stantial means of securing their
livelihood, and
Whereas, The hardships have
been increased by the unlimited
interference by herring seiners
whose catches are used for re
duction purposes and not for
food; and
Whereas, at the following re
gular trolling grounds, to-wit:
