The first development of Klukwan's ANCSA lands on Long Island, 

 located about 55 miles west of Ketchikan, saw a harvest in 1981 of 

 18 million board feet. By contrast, KFP harvested 150 million 

 board feet of ANCSA timber last year, (a volume equivalent to one- 

 third of the 4 50 million board feet annual allowable cut on the 

 Tongass National Forest) . We also built roughly 80 miles of access 

 road last year. Since 1981, we have not only harvested our own 

 timber but have also contracted with Sealaska Corporation, 

 Kootznoowoo, Inc. , and Goldbelt, Incorporated, and have purchased 

 stumpage from Cape Fox Corporation, all ANCSA corporations. 



Since 1981, Klukwan, Inc. has become one of the largest and most 

 successful Alaska-based corporations in the State, ranking fourth 

 in 1987 on the basis of sales. In terms of sales by Native 

 corporations, we are the second largest with only Sealaska 

 Corporation larger. KFP is the largest timber contractor in 

 Alaska. 



Klukwan, Inc. and subsidiaries employs over 400 people with an 

 annual payroll of over $12 million. Nearly all these people are 

 employed in the forest products industry. We have over $20 million 

 invested in timber harvesting equipment. 



Most of our work to date has been on Native lands, but as Native 

 corporations wind up their harvesting operations we are looking to 

 the Tongass as a source of work for our Company and its 400 

 employees. We are currently looking at opportunities to either buy
