Text Appearing Before Image: Noranda's mineral development may displace subsistence use in the area of Hawk Inlet, due to the mining facilities and the presence of a sizable labor force. Noranda's employees will probably hunt and fish in areas which have experienced relatively little such activity in the recent past. Shee Atika and other lands, when developed, may further displace some current sub- sistence use as well as increase competition for available deer through increased human use. Development activities, as well as increased use of the island by recreationists are examples of types of Forest Service sponsored activities which affect subsistence use. Management Intent, Forest Service: Subsistence issues will be important factors in determining how and where development and uses will occur in the Monument Wilderness. Programs, Forest Service: Local people will be encouraged to provide information on subsistence in areas under guestion. Through public involvement, individuals and groups will be encouraged to comment on proposed Forest Service activities. The Forest Service will seek measures designed to mitigate adverse effects on subsistence users. The Forest Service will pursue, as directed in Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the opportunity for cooperative management of the Kootznahoo Inlet-Mitchell Bay area with Kootznoowoo, Inc. village native corporation of Angoon. * * *
