Abstract

The tribal nations of Arctic Alaska have called this region home for generation after generation, and we are no strangers to the outside desire to develop the region's fossil fuel resources. The failure of other interested stakeholders to work with tribal governments, however, has left us without a say on issues that can and will directly affect our culture and traditions. Whether the subject is economic, environmental, preserving our culture and traditions, or related to public health, it is important to engage this country's next generation of decision-makers on why they should care about Alaska and the Arctic, and educate them as to why the process of energy development must include the input of those who have called these lands and waters home for thousands of years.
