PRESBYTERY OF ALASKA - "Hoonah Presbyterian Church was established in 1881 in this Tlingit community across Icy Straits from traditional fishing grounds in Glacier Bay.

'Through many dangers, toils, and snares,' the congregation persisted in its witness and worship. Social and demographic changes accelerated, the changing national politics of fishing and timber washed over the community, and many families left to follow or find work."
