The federal government may soon return a traditional subsistence site connected to Douglas Island to its original tribal owners. Mayflower Island is a small, 3-acre island adjacent to Douglas Harbor and Sandy Beach. It’s connected to Douglas via a short road and sits near the site of the former Douglas Indian Village, which Douglas’ city government burned in 1962. The City and Borough of Juneau formally apologized for the burning last fall.

It also urges the U.S. Forest Service to rehire recently fired workers there. The resolution comes as some congressional Republicans in other states consider selling off federal lands to pay for President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda. Juneau Visitor Industry Director Alix Pierce said city officials have heard about interest from private entities.

An ordinance mandating that the Juneau Police Department release body-worn camera footage no more than 30 days after a city police officer shoots someone will be open for public testimony later this month. That’s after the Juneau Assembly advanced the policy change ordinance at a committee meeting on Monday. Juneau officers have been wearing body-worn cameras since 2017. But there’s nothing in JPD’s policies that says when footage must be released to the public.
