The Juneau Police Department will be getting some new investigative gadgets in the near future, including a device that allows investigators to retrieve pre-crash data from some vehicles in accidents.
Two Native leaders from Southeast Alaska that attended Thursday's meeting in Washington, D.C., among President Obama, his administration and hundreds of tribal leaders reported feeling extremely optimistic about the direction federal-tribal relations are headed.

From the Capital City Weekly
Scattered across the beaches of Southeast Alaska, and indeed along the entire Northwest Pacific coast from Kodiak to the Columbia River, are intensely staring eyes, totemic animals and geometric patterns carved into boulders and bedrock. These mysterious petroglyphs, carvings in stone, raise questions that have perplexed archeologists and casual observers for well over a century. Most of those questions remain unanswered and may ultimately be unanswerable. Perhaps because of these mysteries, petroglyphs arouse fascination in anyone fortunate enough to see them, particularly if they are still embedded in their original location.
