One voice does not speak for all!  So when someone says, "We Alaskan Natives", that is one person possibly speaking on their sphere of influence and relations.  I know Alaskan Natives whom I have spoken to about this specifically, members of corporations in the area effected, and they do not approve.Speak for yourselves, do not insinuate your opinion speaks for all!
This is not an uncommon action by a lame duck president, and historically it has been the Democratic presidents who has sealed off vast parts of Alaska from development.Alaska is a resource rich state we need to develop them for our state economy.  We do not have a good geographical location for a manufacturing economy, and fishing and tourism are seasonal and cost the state more money than the take in revenues per a recent McDowell report.  Mining actually makes the state more money because its management of it by the state costs less than the revenues taken by the state.
I doubt if put to a vote by Alaskans this passes
