Whereas, the United States
government through its various
agencies are building a fine road
system in Southeastern Alaska,
and,
Whereas, these roads seem to
be built only around white com
munities while certain Indian
communities are either neglect
ed or poorly served in compari
son with other districts, and,
Whereas, Yakufcat is one of
these even though there is great
need of a road to connect the old
townsite with the new townsite,
a distance of about one mile
and one that would serve over
three hundred fifty people dur
ing the business season, where
as today this community is serv
ed by a mere trail to the great
harm to business, and,
Whereas, Klukwan is another
such neglected community situ
ated as it is twenty two miles
to the nearest postoffice, doctor
and other necessary factors of
modern life, and having no other
form of communication except
by road which road is in very
bad shape especially since the
floods have washed out many
parts of the present entirely too
inadequate road, which now
connects this community of
three hundred people, natives
and whites who are employed

farming and other activities,
and,
Whereas, Kake is another com
munity that is badly neglected
although it is a community of
four hundred people whose peo
ple are compelled to walk one
mile over a narrow trail to
reach the cannery where so
many of them work ard which
supp.ies the only dock for boats
in that vicinity, and,
Whereas, other communities
are getting miles and miles of
roads some suitable for only the
pleasure of the citizens of large
towns and a chance homestead
er while the roads requested
for the villages of Yakutat,
Klukwan and Kake are for
strictly commercial purposes,
