HEREBY, let it be known that Proclamation Unus is declared as official this day in the year 2006. Proclamation Unus is hereby executed by the self proclaimed Grand Poopah of the Clans. An official title approved and adopted by the membership clans.
Be it further known, by official decree dated April 1981, the Bestowment of the title of "King" was also bestowed upon his Grandness by Official Decree after proving his prowness with a fishing rod on the Anchor River, winning each of the annual King Salmon Derbies that were conducted by the early day clans.

ARTICLE 13 is invoked and remains good standing. Article 13 stipulates that any member of the clan may claim the Title of Grand Poopah or "King" by catching, retaining and showing certified proof that they have personally landed a King Salmon in excess of seventy two (72) pounds. The King Salmon must be made available for viewing by all members of the clans. The King Salmon must be fresh, unfrozen, fit for human consumption, weighed on a certified scale and witnessed by the current Grand Poopah.

HISTORICAL DATA: At the infancy of the individual Clans, the Grand Poopah was an honorary name bestowed upon the Elder of the clans. Upon the concept of the Clan, the appropriate name for each clan was determined by the Elder. The determination of these names were not taken lightly. After consultation and meditation with the heavenly bodies, the Elder had a vision of each clan as the animal in which they appeared in his vision. Each of these animals are unique in their respective personalities and their adaptability to fishing. Furthermore, each of these animals are native to our beloved land called Alaska.

WHEREBY, the Elder of the clan did not bestow a vision upon himself or his mate. Let be known by this Official Proclamation that members of the clans determined a name for the Elder without the benefit of a vision or invoking Article 13. Further more, let it be known that the animal in which they chose without the benefit of a vision is one not native to our beloved land called Alaska. This animal is not worthy of having the dignified position as the Elder of the Clan, Grand Poopah or King. Furthermore, this animal is not worthy of being associated with the majestic bear, moose, buffalo, wolf or the high flying raven.

THEREFORE, after serious consideration and the interpretation of cloud formations and visions, the Grand Poopah makes this self proclamation that his Clan henceforth shall be known as the American Bald Eagle Clan.

JUSTIFICATION: The American Bald Eagle is a bird that represents power throughout the world, soaring on the spiraling winds of the heavens, nests in high locations looking down upon his kingdom, the white top notch demonstrating the wisdom of his age, his ability as a salmon fisherman is well documented, not only in the number of fish that he will catch but also knowing when and where to fish. Being the majestic bird that he is, it is only fitting that the Eagle represents the Elders of the clan.

THEREFORE, With Proclamation Unus on this date in the Year of 2006, the Bald Eagle with represent the Elder Clan as long as the rivers flow, the green grass grows and the winds whisper in the trees

WHEREBY, It is so Decreed.
