The Sitka Tribe of Alaska will hold its annual election Tuesday to select a tribal council chairman and four council members.
Polling hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sheet’ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi community house.
Incumbent Tribal Council Chairman Michael A. Baines is facing a challenge from Clifford A. Edenshaw to retain the chairman’s position.
Baines has served as chairman for two years.
There are five candidates for the other four seats to be filled in the election. Four of them are the council members whose terms are expiring: Wilbur G. Brown, Lillian R. Feldpausch, Michael D. Miller and Rachel K. Moreno The fifth is Robert C. Sam. The top four vote-getters will be elected. The terms are for two years.
Election officials reminded voters to take their tribal or state ID cards to the polls in order to vote.
Those with questions may call Rose Demmert at 738-5450.
Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
