Icy Strait Point
Icy Strait Point is a privately owned tourist destination just outside the small village of Hoonah, Alaska. It is located on Chichagof Island and is named after the nearby Icy Strait. Owned by Huna Totem Corporation, it is the only privately owned cruise destination in Alaska,〔〔 as most stops are owned by the cities in which they are located. Huna Totem Corporation is owned by approximately 1,350 Alaskan Natives with aboriginal ties to Hoonah and the Glacier Bay area.〔Hunn, Eugene S., et al. "Huna Tlingit Traditional Environmental Knowledge, Conservation, and the Management of a 'Wilderness' Park" ''Current Anthropology'' 44.S5 (2003): S79–S103.〕 Many of them are of the Tlingit people.〔
==History==
Huna Totem Corporation was established as a part of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act〔Huhndorf, Roy M., and Shari M. Huhndorf. "Alaska native politics since the Alaska native claims settlement Act." ''South Atlantic Quarterly'' 110.2 (2011): 385–401.〕 signed into law in 1971. The Act was intended to resolve the long-standing issues surrounding aboriginal land claims in Alaska, as well as to stimulate economic development throughout Alaska.
The corporation purchased the site in 1996,〔 and Icy Strait Point was first opened for cruise ships in 2004, with Royal Caribbean International and its sister outfit Celebrity Cruises being the two lines to initially make use of it. They would continue to be the main lines there, but subsequently Princess Cruises began making some stops there for several years, as well as Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Norwegian Cruise Line.〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Cruises to Icy Strait Point 2014 )〕 Only one cruise ship is present at any given time;〔 passengers are tendered into the Icy Strait Point dock.〔 By 2008, cruise stop business accounted for a quarter of Hoonah's employment,〔 and by 2011, there were some 73 cruise ship visits arriving for the summer season, and by one calculation the cruise business accounted for more than half the local economy.〔
