Commissioner of Indian Affairs Philleo Nash will make his first official visit to Indian Bureau installations and native villages in the State of Alaska January 20 through 29, the Department of the Interior announced today.
Mr. Nash will dedicate new school buildings constructed by the Bureau at Kotzebue on January 21 and at Barrow on January 23, attend the inauguration of Governor William Egan in Juneau on January 26, and visit the Bureau's Mount Edgecumbe boarding school near Sitka on January 28.
Plans also call for visits with native people in their homes at Kotzebue and Barrow and, weather permitting, for visits in the smaller villages of Buckland, Deering and Minto, or other nearby Athabascan communities.
