Tongass Haa Aani Working Group Feb 1 2011
Charter Amendment
Update of Roundtable’s Convening Values that includes the amendment regarding the Unique Role of Alaska Natives in the work of the Roundtable.
Convening Values
The Roundtable will include all of those who care for the Tongass by using open, inclusive, and transparent processes to reach out to all Tongass voices. The Roundtable will work to create a positive dialogue and find shared solutions to meet the Roundtable’s Purposes.
Recognizing that the governance of the Roundtable will evolve over time, this protocol is intended to guide it through its early existence. The Roundtable will review the protocol at its first meeting annually. From time immemorial, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimpsian peoples have
maintained their stewardship of the lands and waters of Southeast Alaska. The Tongass Futures Roundtable recognizes, values, and respects their customary and traditional way of life and their traditional knowledge.
