The Grand Igloo meeting, which .ombines business and a get-to- zether of old-timers from all parts of Alaska, is held at this time and place for a couple of reasons— | t is-close to the birthdays of both he Pioneers of Alaska and of its mmediate predecessor, the Arctic 3rotherhood, and it is a time when many of the members are gathered t Juneau for the Legislature. Yesterday was the 44th anniver- | sary of the founding of the Pioneers and it is the youngest of a num- ver of fraternal societies that | 1ave been built around pioneer esidence in the North. It is also he only one that is active in Al- iska today. There may nave peen earlier or- ranizations of this kind than the 3ons of the Northwest, which held its first meeting at Sicka on Marzh 1, 1887, but if so they seem to have lef: no record. The Sons of the Northwest did aot spread beyond Sitka and it »xisted for only five or six years Although the development of In- terior Alaska is often considered to have started with the discovery of the Klondike in August, 1896, the ‘act is that people began moving into Yukon Valley many years earlier. The first ones arrived by the overland route from Northern Canada to trade for furs, and in 1880 prospectors went sountry ‘over the Dyea Trail.

P. was residence in the Yukon watershed since 1883, but in later years this date was moved forward from time to time and the organization is, still active in the Canadian Yu-| kon, The Y. O. O. P. was forerunner of the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers and its sister organiza-| tion, the Ladies of the Golden| North, which are active in Seattle. A rival outfit, the Forty Mile Pioneers Society, started late m 1895, open to all those who had keen in the region prior to 1888, ut it does not seem to have lasted very long. | | The big gold rush of 18974898; seemed to call for an organization / for the newcomers to the North and the need was filled by the Arctic Brotherhood. The Arctic Brotherhood had its first informal meeting aboard the steamer City of Seattle, enroute from Seattle to Skagway, on Feb- ruary 26, 1899. Thomas W. Farns- worth was elected the first Arctic Chief and the badges of the so- ciety, at that first meeting, were champagne corks for the officers and beer corks for the brothers not n. office. The A. B. covered all of Alaska, Yukon Tertitory and British Co- lumbia north of 54-40. Camp No. 1 was established at Skagway and the first meeting there was on March 6, 1899. By May the mem- bership was 311. Other Camps were established, in the order named, at Bennett, Atlin, Dawson, Sitka, Circle City, St. Michael, Nome, Council City, Whitehorse, Eagle, Rampart, Treadwell, Fairbanks, o - into the,|’ y | Michael, Fairbanks, Ruby, Juneau, -0 - | E ARMCND - - o~ 0 0 {0 | Haines, Chena, Discovery, Ketchi- kan, Seward, Cleary, Vault Creek, Hot Springs and Fort Gibbon. | The Arctic Brotherhood was very | active for a dozen or more years, | then went into a decline that las- ted for another eight or ten years Lefore it folded up entirely, a | Jarge part of its membership be-| taken over by the Pioneers Alaska ing of Of a strictly local nature was the! 'g7 Pioneers Association, formed at Juneau on January 25, 1908, with 169 charter members. A requirement of membership was arrival in the district prior to June 30, 1887, and this was never changed the since became self-liquida- organization ting g The original charter of the '87 Pior Association and pictures of the members are in the Territor- jal Museum. Although the Yukon Order of Piorte and the Arctic Brother- houd were both active in North- western Alaska in 1907, the former little too exclusive and the perhaps, was not exclusive was latter, nough At that time the Y. O. O. P. re- quired residence since 1896 andy this automatically excluded from| membership all of the men who came in with the Gold Rush. On the other hand, anyone with the price of the initiation fee could join the Arctic Brotherhood the moment he stepped off the. boaty irom Seattle or San Francisco. So, on February 20, 1907, Igloo 1 of the Pioneers of Alaska organized at Nome and the; were opened to those who had} ved in Alaska prior to January vears following there was an ever) . 1901.
