Way to be sensationalist ADN and stir up more racism amongst readers!  I remember during the pipeline boom many worried aloud about the difficulty of retaining workers all over Alaska as employers were forced to compete with pipeline jobs.  Planning involves identifying the pros and cons.  The article seems to state that  IN ADDITION to SERIOUS environmental concerns, workforce retention is a factor.  Sometimes it seems like ADN is devoted to spreading fear and hatred of Native villages, encouraging  Alaskans who are faced with tough choices to blame all their problems on Natives and rural communities.  Please stop using villages and Natives as a scapegoat.    Racism isn't right or good and it prevents people from seeing the truth and from tackling problems intelligently.
