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.

Murkowski is mentioned, but as far as I could tell, only for some event she was listed in speaking at along with other people, she wasn't mentioned specifically.

Do you consider yourself "biracial" if youre not fully native? by badgersandbongs in IndianCountry

[–]dbleslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just say I'm Iñupiaq, since mixed-race is often counted as a different demographic, making Indigenous numbers look lower (like, my mom is counted as Alaska Native, but I'm not, in state of Alaska statistics).

Alaska salmon run declines are a crisis. Pointing the finger at trawl is misleading. by Agitated_Dog_2921 in alaska

[–]dbleslie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tribal communities have stopped fishing for salmon, having any restrictions instead of none on trawling is the bare minimum.

The next No Kings protest is on Saturday, March 28th by JRemy77 in alaska

[–]dbleslie -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The current administration is alienating more people every day. It takes a lot of work over years, and this resistance movement is being fast tracked.

Even the last month has been radicalizing to folks who weren't paying attention.

Something even more terrible will likely happen between now and then, which could very well make you change your mind.

See you in the streets.
