"Alaska Native, community is likely the most heavily subsidized class of people in America."    I disagree with this statement, what about the 1% and American bankers?  Let's not forget about the oil companies that have profited off of our land.  The amount of write off's they receive is horrendous, and they haven't paid the price of colonization, assimilation or civil injustice.  All of these subsidies do not come close to the profit that has been made off of our resources.  If it wasn't for the foresight and actions of AFN and our tribal leaders, we would have been robbed completely and our fate would be much like those of the American Indians of the Lower 48 that have suffered and have been neglected, left to waste away on reservations .  Do not accuse us of implying that no man is created equal, Alaskan Natives have fought tirelessly for our civil rights.  We are resilient people, entitled to nothing.  What we have does not compare to what has been taken away.
