The AN Brotherhood and Sister- hood had a joint meeting last Mon- day night to discuss the Reserva- tion Project. The local people were definitely very much opposed to the plan. To quote one of the Sister- hood members: “When I see a \\‘hit/e‘ woman going up to pay her taxes | to the government, I want my priv- ilege of walking right up there be- side her and paying my own taxes. I don't want the government to give me anything that I am unable to do my share for., I want my rights as a citizen, and I don’t want these rights taken away trom | me.” The Sisterhood and the Brother- hood have united in sending two delegdtes to Sitka to express the| local organizations’ opinions. Mayor Harry Douglas and George Carteeti are representing the local people at the meeting in Sitka. A surprise party was given March 2, in honor of Sig Benson, by the family.
