METLAKATLA, Alaska (AP) - Drummers and singers welcomed Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy to Metlakatla, with some blowing fluffy white eagle feather down - symbolic of spreading peace in Tsimshian culture - before he went to a meeting with tribal leaders on the only Indian reserve in Alaska.
In Hyder, a tiny southeast Alaska town on the border with Canada, Mark and Amy Bach invited Dunleavy to their house, where they had brownies waiting and most of their 12 children who live at home broke out instruments and sang for him.
In Ketchikan, diners wanting to say hi or get a photo stopped by Dunleavy s table as he ate breakfast with Alaska s chief medical officer, Dr. Anne Zink, and the area s state senator.
