Gov. Palin Establishes Alaska History Week Director Ed Thomas recently spoke at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau where Gov. Palin signed House Bill 259, which established Alaska History Week as the first week of March. Students from Juneau-Douglas High School witnessed the signing and listened to Native leader Thomas and lifelong Alaskan Judy Ripley understand the importance of Alaska Natives and our significance to the state’s history. Thomas engaged students with questions about local landmarks in an effort to illustrate the rich history of Juneau’s Taku and Auk tribes. Thomas is Tlingit and has served on Sealaska’s board since 1993. He is president of Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (CCTHITA) and vice president of National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).
