Box 602 Hoonah, AK 998294602 Phone (907) 945-3545 Fax (907) 945-3703 March 23, 2004 RECEIVED Mr. Niles Caesar Regional Director MAR 29 2004 Bureau of Indian Affairs BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS• P.O. Box 25520 OFFICE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR Juneau, Alaska 99801 Re: Revision of the Hoonah Indian Association Constitution Dear Mr. Caesar: For over nine months the Hoonah Indian Association Board of Directors has been working to revise its constitution that was established with the assistance of the Department of the Interior in 1939. The Board of Directors working with the assistance of Bob Loescher of Loescher and Associates, LLC, reviewed the constitutions of Sitka Tribes of Alaska, Ketchikan Indian Corporation, Metlakatla, the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Alaska and its own existing charter. Looking at the experience of these other recognized tribal governments and reviewing the many laws that congress has adopted related to American Indians and Alaskan Natives, it concluded its final review and voted to forward the attached draft constitution to the Bureau of Indian of Affairs for its review and comment. It is our understanding that the Bureau of Indian Affairs will review the proposed constitution and send its comments back for our consideration. After the Board has considered the Bureau of Indian Affairs recommendations and comments, we understand we can send the final document to your office and that you will request the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to set a date for an election for the approval of the constitution of our enrolled tribal members. If this is the correct process we must go through to revise our constitution, we request that you confirm this to us in writing. We respectfully request that you undertake your review of this proposed constitution as soon as possible. Thanking you for this consideration. Sincerely, Johanna Dybdahl Tribal Administrator cc: Frank Wright, Jr., President Robert W. Loeseher
