Thank God there was no Attorney General on Plymouth Rock. or at Jamestown. or New Amsterdam. Some things never change. Congress moved into the breach and by an act of March 3. 1891 created a reservation for "these new Americans and such other Alaskan natives as might join them." In 1934. Congress granted collective naturalization. In the past 100 years since the founding of the community in Alaska. the Metlakatlans have distinguished their community in many ways. Back in the 1920s. the abundant hydroelectric potential was harnessed to provide power for industry. warmth for homes. and illumination for the schools.
