Rural Alaskans should be better represented on the council than they are now but all rural Alaskans, not just the handful of wannabees who claim they represent phony tribes.<br /><br />These endless shrill demands for unreasonable race based preferential treatment will surely result in a backlash that will roll back some of the hard earned gains that have been made in working toward racial equality.<br /><br />The self-appointed, so called leaders who demand these preferences are in it to promote themselves at the expense of everyone else.<br /><br />Government to government relationship?

Duncan Fields draws a check as a lobbyist for the CQE consortium, Eric Olsen(BBEDC)is running the circus we call NPFMC. The equality which is sought by above poster reeks of favoritism and would disadvantage many others. I offer up that the real injustice is the power that corporations hold over coastal Alaska and it's residents be them native or non native.

No one is pandering to the cdg group, but a segment of a population that enjoys a government-to-government relationship relationship with the U.S. government dating back before your ancestors walked on two legs. This is about justice and equality based on the U.S. Constitution that states tribes will be treated as sovereign governments, but not interests, so crawl back into your cave dwellings and fester.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-86735606285861378372010-03-08T18:33:55.814-09:002010-03-08T18:33:55.814-09:00How about appointing a few council members to repr...How about appointing a few council members to represent independent fisherman of any race?
