By Editor, on January 28th, 2012  Former CIA Tribal Administrator Jim Carnahan Press Release:
HAINES–Jim Carnahan, former Tribal Administrator for the Chilkoot Indian Association, announced today that he has settled his lawsuit against CIA. CIA terminated Carnahan in October 2010 and violated his employment contract in doing so, according to documents filed in December 2010.
Carnahan said he is pleased this has finally come to an end and he has been absolved of all wrong doing. CIA made the following statement in the settlement agreement, “CIA is pleased that we could work out a settlement of our employment dispute. We withdraw our allegations of wrongdoing on your part. As we are sure you will agree, CIA regrets that this matter was not handled and resolved in a different manner.”
Carnahan finished by saying, “CIA has tremendous potential to help its members and the people of Haines. I wish them the very best as they try to move forward.”
Carnahan is represented by Michael Lessmeier from Juneau. “Mike is an incredible attorney and worked hard to resolve this claim,” said Carnahan. “He went above and beyond the call of duty.”

JUNEAU — Della Cheney remembers playing with a family heirloom growing up in Kake, a rather strange-looking metallic object that wasn’t easily moved about.
“It was very heavy,” Cheney said. “At least 25 pounds.”
The heirloom? A roughly 12-inch long, 30-pound unexploded round of ammunition fired by the U.S. military on the village more than 140 years ago in what villagers and other descendents still refer to as “The Kake War.”
