my thoughts on the conservative republican....
the conservative republican is the biggest threat to the survival of alaska native people.
many of the conservative republicans’ decisions in state and federal government turn a blind eye to the alaska native way of life, culture, and overall well-being.
similar sentiments can be said on behalf of my fellow american indians down south.
