The National Park Service (NPS), in cooperation with the Hoonah Indian Association (HIA), is proposing to construct a 3,500 square foot Huna Tribal House on the Bartlett Cove waterfront in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. Learn more about the project here.

We are pleased to announce that the Huna Tribal House Environmental Assessment (EA) is ready for public review and comment. The EA analyzes the proposed action and alternatives and their impact on the environment. Your ideas and concerns about the EA are welcomed and encouraged. Comments can be shared at public meetings, sent by mail, submitted electronically or by calling the Project Leader directly. Comments must be received no later than Monday November 19, 2012.

This fall, the park will host meetings in Hoonah and Gustavus, Alaska, to hear ideas, concerns and thoughts about the EA. In addition, the NPS will be hosting a booth at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention, October 18 through 20 in Anchorage, Alaska. Meeting times and locations are:

  • Hoonah City School Auto Shop (tribal house carving shop)
    October 23, 2012 from 6:30-8:00 pm
  • Gustavus Public Library
    November 5, 2012 from 5:00-7:00 pm
