Alaskan voters approved an amendment to  the state's constitution with a rural subsistence preference in a time of shortage.  Someone has to regulate fish and game, but Alaska Natives have been under federal fish and game protections due to being federally recognized tribes.   From what I understand and support, American Indians and Alaska Native tend to receive better treatment at the federal level.  Alaska's Republicans have been hostile toward Natives for decades.  I don't trust the state government or the Republicans.
