Show Notes
Tribal leaders in Southeast Alaska strongly oppose the states proposed Cascade Point Ferry Terminal near Juneau, citing its sacred status and cultural significance. The site, owned by Goldbelt Incorporated, is home to gravesites, petroglyphs, and an ancient village, and is crucial for the Lingít communitys traditional way of life, including hunting and fishing. Despite overwhelming public opposition, the project continues, with state transportation officials arguing it will cut operating costs and shorten travel times. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will handle Clean Water Act permitting, with public meetings planned for late March and early April, and groundbreaking expected this fall.
