Simpson, Tillinghast & Sorensen, P.C. Records.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/368295145

This collection consists of materials related to the 1996 events surrounding National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) attempt to construct a large laboratory facility on Indian Point, Auke Cape, near Juneau, Alaska. Regarding this issue, in 1995-1996 NOAA selected Indian Point as their desired location to construct a lab, but it was also a known location possessing sacred and traditional value for local Native American Indians, a place which also hosted many shaman graves. To halt the construction of the NOAA lab on this traditional site, the Sealaska Corporation and Sealaska Heritage Institute hired Simpson, Tillinghast & Sorensen (STS). After legal investigation by STS and pressure from Sealaska and other Native organizations, NOAA agreed to select a new site for their lab. This collection contains correspondence concerning this event, legal research by STS, and reports prepared by NOAA and others all dating to between 1995 and 1998.
