There are a good many things I think are lacking in rural tribal politics. There is a great deal of palm greasing and money going the wrong way. I think other posts reflect that. However, I know that both SCF and ANTHC are highly respected and high functioning organizations as evidenced by the level of care they provide and the coordination that they operate in. It is in their collective vision to provide the best for Alaska Natives... the best health care, services and education. They have had internal education programs for years. It makes sense, as all schools, including APU, struggle to remain afloat that the tribes try to make a go of this. For many students in the Anchorage catchment, the only option for a real college education is UAA. Overpriced and complex to navigate at best...above the abilities of many village educated youth.  If the SCF and ANTHC take this on, they will make it work. More power to them.
