I find it presumptuous that a first-time visitor to Alaska believes she has "solutions" that caring life-long residents, both Native & non-Native - have not resolved after trying for a long, long time..  
After decades or living/working experience in Native Alaska, I have an observation no one may like:  
First, in many villages, there are just a handful of dominant fanilies who, for the most part, have exerted leadership for a very long time. The scant number of local jobs & leadership roles usually go to members of the dominant families.  I think residents  from certain "dominant family" villages might agree that fairness, legality, and "justice for all" are not always the hallmarks of  sometimes distorted versions  of their  traditional commuity management systems. Current safety programs, or prevention & handling of local violence (usually Native-on-Native) are often inadequate as is -- Turning justice over to dominant families in those villages may make bad situations even worse!
