“I think that we’ve never come out and said we are in opposition to the mine,' Tribal Council President Kimberley Strong said. 'I am afraid of this hard rock acid mine and what it will do to us.”
On Thursday, Klukwan residents led a water blessing ceremony to honor the Chilkat watershed and the life it sustains in the valley.
Hotch said she sees eagles pick salmon out of the river, sometimes out of her own fishing net. She said she often finds the remnants of those fish at the bottom of a tree. The carcasses decompose into the soil and feed the trees, keeping the forest alive.

“We place a message onto a piece of wood. A prayer to the water,” she said. “Klehini River. And just say a prayer, and give it back to the water. So now we have these kids here, and they are about to do the same.” Hotch began the ceremony: “Father God, Our Creator. Ever present Spirit. We need your help today. Out river, we want to protect it. We want it to flow in good health, in perpetuity, forever.”
