Dave Berry is the new president of the Chilkoot Indian Association.
Berry was elected during a contested election to the tribe’s board, and chosen president by board members. Della Brouillette also was elected in the vote.
Other officers will be determined at an Oct. 21 meeting.
Tribal administrator Jim Carnahan is officially on vacation until Sept. 23, Berry said, although he has moved out of the house he was renting, and shipped his cars south.
