We have a few things to post. Mat took a trip for work to Metlakatla, Alaska. The picture is of Mat waiting to get on the float plane in Metlakatla back to Ketchikan. The Metlakatla Indian Community is the only Federal Indian Reservation in the State of Alaska, and is home to the Tsimshean (tsim-she-an) Indians. All other Alaska Natives and Indians reached a different arrangement with the U.S. back in the 1970's, in which the Government made them into corporations. The hospitality and treatment was wonderful. He stayed in someone's home for lodging, and ate a lot of salmon and halibut. The rivers were teeming with Silvers (Coho) on their fall run.
