Mallard Duck Bay Updates!
Mallard Duck Bay has been working with the Chignik Lagoon Village Council to assess and assist with electrical issues, water system repairs, and renovations to the Chignik Lagoon subsistence building. The power distribution system is being inspected and repaired with assistance from Northern Powerline Constructors to identify problems. This previous summer, MDB aimed to repair and restore water service to as many residents as possible and coordinated with regional associates to find major leaks and fix the village's water storage.
MDB was also busy working on some of the village’s buildings. The local clinic had windows replaced and is waiting for more supplies to be delivered before more exterior improvements and repairs can be made. The subsistence building had extensive water damage, but all leaks have been identified and repaired. There are also repairs on the village shop that need to be fixed, such as shelving, organizing the floor space, and the heater, which has been assessed, and the repairs are being made. More storage solutions have been installed for easier access.
Our team will continue working with the Chignik Lagoon Village Council and has been reaching out to other qualified businesses to establish partnerships, as well as identify more construction opportunities. If you would like more information on Mallard Duck Bay, the website is available, and you can find it here.
CLNC Lands
The Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation would like to address some land concerns that recently have surfaced on social media. The following statements are a clarification to our shareholders regarding land use on Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation lands only.
In the past, our corporation has held contracts with bear guides, allowing them the use of our lands to hunt bear only. CLNC does not allow the use of their lands to hunt any other wild game.
Currently, the Chignik Lagoon Native Corporation does not have a contract with any guides, as the past contract expired in June 2022.
The CLNC Board of Directors considers themselves and the shareholders stewards of our lands and has stated this in our strategic plan. Also, previously stated in our newsletters, we are still considering land conservation easements to protect and preserve the lands for the shareholders.
We encourage interest and leadership in the protection of responsible land use. The following link is for those interested in serving on an advisory committee for the State of Alaska Board of Game.
Additionally, please contact the Wildlife Refuge in King Salmon to address concerns with subsistence and sport hunting on federal lands cited in the social media posts.
