Does Cori Mills the assistant attorney general believe in legal precedent? This is not good for Alaska and will create enmity between Alaska Natives and non-Natives. If this is truly Native sovereignty, then these specific Native Tribes should get their K12 funding from the BIA as happens in the Lower 48. The State of Alaska should no longer be responsible for funding any of the requirements for these sovereign lands. Interesting question: If the people in an AK Native sovereign territory are truly sovereign, then can they vote in Alaska elections?
