It's just a few days before Election Day on Oct. 6.
Anyone who has picked up a print edition of the Chilkat Valley News in the last few weeks has seen the Letters to the Editor section swell as people weigh-in on how they're likely to vote, and why. So, this week, I thought you might like to see some of those letters from your neighbors as you weigh who to vote for this year.
For those of you who have voted already, or are burned out on election coverage, check out Will Steinfeld's story about a small-dollar collections suit the borough brought against the Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska over its property on Lutak Road property ended up being one front in an unresolved statewide conflict over land sovereignty.

Students spent the days prior learning about Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwépemc woman who was sent to a boarding school in Canada when she was six years old. Webstad was wearing an orange shirt to school, which was taken from her upon arrival. After singing two songs in Lingít, students served brunch to community members on September 30, in Klukwan. |
