Mr Smith E-Mails Washington: Constituents On Line - By Christopher Scope, Congressional Quarterly Weekly Reporter.

"The Internet is becoming an essential grass-roots tool for   outreach and for keeping the interested informed.Jesse Cooday, a Native American of the Tlingit Nation, said the Internet is injecting new life into his peoples' long time cause-reclaiming some of their native southeast Alaska lands."  Christopher Scope, Congressional Quarterly.  CQ   NOVEMBER 29, 1997 --2940-2941

In 1994, in a Congressionally Study of the landless issue: A Department of the Interior official states that because Petersburg, Wrangell, Haines,Tenakee Springs, and Ketchikan were excluded from ANCSA land grants back in 1971, they were not eligible unless Congress ameds the Alaska Native Lands Settlement Act and corrects the omission.

We were left out of the Alaska Land Claims Settlement Act 34 years ago.  With the New Generations born after the original Alaska Land claims settlement 34 years ago, This now affects one-third of our Tlingit & Haida Nation today. We are seeking our Historical, Burial and Subsistence lands.

 In 1995 Haa tl'atgi (The first Landless Tlingit Internet Support Group).  was formed to bring our story to the Internet community.  We started out by posting to various newsgroups, environmental,  media, and political forums.   On Oct 20th, 1996 we launched the Tlingit National Anthem, Alaska Natives and Native Americans Online
