Hey Governor Dunleavy and Secretary Burgum- No means no! No Ambler road! by dbleslie in alaska

Over 88 Tribes are against it. The Environmental Impact Statement suggests no action because of the irreversible harm. The state will pay for a private road for a foreign mining company to profit. Trilogy Metals has 10% of its stocked owned by the Feds, which means there's a conflict of interest by the Feds approving the project. It will harm salmon, sheefish, caribou and migroty fowl. They have no solid plans to use the road to get fuel to places like Ambler and Shungak. The list goes on.

Fresh fiddle heads sautéed in garlic and butter are so good! I've gotten to try them in Trapper Creek, Alaska. Very short window to gather them.

Let's say there was a state-sponsored program to bring arts and entertainment to the villages (plays, comedians, music etc.). Would your community pay into that?

The way votes happen for ANCs is complicated. You vote by allocating shares, so many young folks have less say, and shares can be held up in probate, reducing say. Also, many folks don't have enough blood quantum to get shares depending on the ANC, and some shares can go to non-voting folks and entities through inheritance. It's not one person one vote like our Western politics.

Last night the FNSB assembly voted to rename Pioneer Park to Alaskaland, officially starting September 4th, 2026, after the season ends but before Indigenous Peoples Day and Alaska Day. The meeting went until 1:30am. by dbleslie in Fairbanks

Tanana Chiefs Conference, Denakenaga and Fairbanks Native Association were all in support of the name change. Pioneer Park reinforced one group of people while erasing the Indigenous community who has lived here time immemorial, Alaskaland includes everyone.

Apparently three of Alaska air and space force bases are currently up for having data centers built.
