We were already here by birth. Then we were invaded and so we don't know who paid for them to come here. We were also 'taken over' by 'Divine Right' by the Russians who did nothing of value for Indigenous people. Then they sold Alaska to the US without consulting all of the Tribes of Alaska. Then the US moved people in with land grants, farming in Mat-Su, WWII brought in thousands of outsiders many of whom did not leave, established churches to 'civilize' us savages, build schools for Natives only, took away our religions, Native languages were forbidden, stopped Native dancing, sent our young to Native schools outside, and did just about everything to terminate us a people. We have a history that is not taught in our public schools and university that would have helped Native people to transition into a totally different society when the US came in and took over. And, most if not all of the Tribes ever voted on becoming a state. That was driven by outsiders who lived in the Railbelt.
