Alaska Native relations with the feds will have improved when the democrats running the federal government are more concerned with the lives of Alaska Native families and their children at King Cove and their access to emergency medical treatment in Cold Bay by a single lane gravel road than some geese that already survived every city, road, golf course, and airport along interstate 5 on their trek to Izembek Lagoon for 8 weeks a year.  Or when a democrat senator or President or Secretary of the Interior supports and passes a bill in Congress to settle claims of 5 landless tribes in Southeast Alaska. (by giving land) Or when subsistence needs of Alaska Natives are put ahead of the save the wolves campaign in managing federal lands.  Or when the democrats and feds support managing the sea otter population (transplanted from Aleutians) in Southeast to protect native subsistence foods.  Or when the democrats offer the Hoonah Tribe even an acre of their homeland in Glacier Bay back.
