History speaks for itself, as we see social scientists documenting cause/ effect relationships of ANCSA's legacy of its terrible impacts on native villages. These villages have the highest rates of domestic abuse, suicides, rape, unemployment, and are direct consequences of native corporate practices failing to achieve sustainable economies and functional village dynamics. The corporations have divided family and friends, mocked our customs with concocted rituals, sold our heritage and turned our land into a wasteland. ANCSA forced Alaska natives into trying to duplicate western culture, something we don't need or want. "Hire lawyers" is that the future for our people?We've fallen a long way from where we been, a culture that thrived in one of the most hostile and beautiful places on earth. Tribes should be the power, not the corporations.
