I've been in rural Alaska villages.  Alaska natives and native Alaskans in villages are just trying to make it like everyone else. I want them to have everything Americans need to succeed.  I say this because our people deserve care and concern.  I don't like it that many, many people use their food stamp allotment for drugs and alcohol but there you go...it's a good trading tool and done regularly believe me.  It's a drop in the money bucket for their food stamps as compared to the billions of dollars we send to other countries.
