History of Annahootz Mountain

Named in 1929 byU.S. Forest Service (USFS)for Sitka Chief Annahootz, of the Kock-won-ton, a subtribe of the Tlingit Indians, who protected the white settlers from the Indians under Katlian, a rival chief. Annahootz was appointed policeman of an Indian village by Captain Beardslee, U.S. Navy (USN), in 1880, which office he held for many years.
