Our roots run deep in Loring. For over 120 years our family has been apart of Lorings past, present and future. We are proud of our native pioneer heritage! We have created this website to share with you the history of our remote village on Naha Bay.

Our Tsimpsian grandmother came from Metlakatla Alaska in 1889 to Loring Alaska to work at the Fish Oil Plant that used to be on a near by island. She met our grandfather Mr R. Stack Sr, an Irishman from Oakland California, who came to Loring to work in the states largest Salmon cannery operation. Our grandparents soon married and made the remote cannery village their home. Their youngest son Tom Sr. stayed on in Loring when most of his siblings left. He married our grandmother Florence; it was her love of Loring and the lush mild climate of Southeast Alaska that made her leave for good her home in the interior of Alaska. An athabascan native, Florence never looked back and enjoyed her many years of raising a family of 5 on Naha Bay. Grandma knew Loring was a special place and was a fierce protector of our private community. For almost 5 generations our family has been in Loring Alaska. Tsimshian

Today, Loring is still called home to some family members of the Stack family. Each July we have a Stack Family Reunion Potlatch where we celebrate our roots and heritage. Complete with fireworks over Naha Bay! `
